Graduates go on to work in government, natural resources, nonprofits, environmental education, policy, and sustainable business. The program is made for experiential learners-classes are in the evenings leaving time for jobs, internships, and volunteer experiences. Students may attend full-time (two years) or part-time (three years). We recognize that the best environmental solutions come from a wide variety of perspectives--that is why we accept all majors, and why our students, who come to us from across the US and abroad, represent a wide range of ages, cultures and expertise. Classes at Evergreen are credit/no credit, and narrative evaluations are used in place of grades to assess performance, reflecting both student and faculty assessment of learning. In addition, the student to faculty ratio is 15:1; so students may gain full access to faculty expertise. The program offers a variety of scholarships and tuition waivers<http://www.evergreen.edu/mes/costs.htm> to qualified students. Applications<http://www.evergreen.edu/mes/admission.htm> for Fall 2016 are now available. Please note that AmeriCorps Members, AmeriCorps Alums, Veterans, McNair Scholars and Returned Peace Corps Volunteers apply for free<http://www.evergreen.edu/mes/appfeewaiver.htm>! We also offer scholarships for AmeriCorps alums. For more information, please go to evergreen.edu/mes<http://www.evergreen.edu/mes/> or contact me with any questions. Gail Wootan, M.Ed.
