EVERGREEN?
Every college claims to be different, but few rival Evergreen for
creating an educational

environment

so completely focused on

student learning. Evergreen's differences matter, because the entire
college is organized around philosophies

--------------------------4t"Because
Evergreen faculty work in teams, teach across
disciplines and constantly create new programs, they can explore the
questions on the tips of their tongues. By promoting active, engaged
learning, they encourage students to become partners in this
exploration. And the program sizes mean faculty can treat students
as real, actual, human individuals."

FACULTY MEMBER

L--------{.,"I've never liked working in class situations where the
teacher doesn't care about what I'm working on. But I've found at
Evergreen that if I was having problems, the faculty could tailor
their teaching to my learning, at least some of the time, so I could
get individualized attention."

"The faculty get to know you. The,y see how you were when

Answers To Some Frequently Asked Questions
~What

degrees does Evergreen offer?

-----I.The
Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Master in Teaching, Master of Public Administration and Master
of Environmental Studies degrees.

I'm undecided about what I want to study.
Do I need to know exactly what I want to do?
No. Although it sometimes helps to know exactly what you want to do, it can be a hindrance if you want to
explore. Coordinated studies programs are excellent for pursuing what you want to do or for discovering new, unexpected
directions and interests.

'------------{I.

L;

0:wr~
d~OI know

which program to take each quarter?
Where do I go for help in planning?
Advisors in the Academic Planning and Experiential Learning (APEL) office, the faculty members in your
current program or faculty in other areas that interest you - all are excellent sources of information. Conversations with
these individuals and careful reading of the Catalog can help you make curriculum decisions. The section entitled Matching
Evergreen's Programs to Your Field of Interest, beginning on page 40, is a great place to start. The Academic Fair is another
great source of information (see pages 35, 106) .

• Are all 1997-98 programs listed in this Catalog,
or are others added later?
'-----------{.)
One of the greatest strengths of Evergreen's academic programs is that they change from year to yearensuring fresh approaches and up-to-date information on issues relevant to today's world. Most full-time programs listed in
this catalog were planned more than a year before the 1997-98 academic year. While every effort is made to present
accurate information, it's inevitable that some programs and faculty will be revised, revamped, added or deleted. Information about changes is available at the APEL office.

What if I want to attend part time, or enroll in a program
part time so that I can also pursue other interests?
'-------------1. Most daytime academic programs are planned for full-time enrollment, but other options do exist for parttime attendance, including half-time, interdisciplinary, team-taught programs offered evenings and weekends. They are
publicized in a campus quarterly called the Evergreen Times.

~What

do I do if I can't enroll in the program I want?

• We make every effort to ensure that students will have their first choice of program offerings, but this is
not always possible. If you don't get your first choice, don't be discouraged. Part of your education at Evergreen involves
learning to take risks. Be willing to try something you hadn't considered before and remember - APEL advisors and
faculty members can help you find out what's available.

~can

I take more than one program at a time

or take courses in addition to a full-time program?
• Since focused study in one program is part of what makes the college distinctive, taking more than one
program or a series of courses at one time is not encouraged. Each program description, however, specifies whether
additional courses may be substituted for portions of that program if they are more relevant to your academic goals. You
can also negotiate this with program faculty, but you must limit the number of credits you take to 16 per quarter .

• Where can I learn more about programs, individual and group
contracts, internships and other opportunities available at
Evergreen?
'-----------(.lCheck
with the APEL office in the Student Advising Center, first floor, Library Building. More detailed
program descriptions, including weekly schedules, are available there, as well as information about program and faculty
changes.

Evergreen is committed to
increasing diversity among
both students and faculty.
We believe strongly that our
students' educational
experiences are enhanced
and their lives enriched in a
multicultural environment.
While we are working to
create diversity, we are also
working to build a strong
sense of community. In
academic programs as well
as in workshops, lectures,
group activities and special
events, Evergreen faculty and
staff work with students to
create a welcoming environment ... one that embraces
differences ... fosters

tolerance and understanding ...
and celebrates a shared
commitment to cultural, ethnic
and racial awareness.
The work is far from
complete. While Evergreen's
commitment is real, the college
is a microcosm of the larger,
imperfect world. Evergreen,
like all the rest of the world,
has much to learn.
We invite you to join us in
working toward honest and
earnest exploration of real
issues and problems and in
safeguarding the Evergreen
community for learners who
seek to explore, to grow, to
interact and to find meaningful
connections in today's world.

The Evergreen environment attracts self-starters
and encourages them to
work hard to achieve their
goals. Our graduates carry
their sense of involvement
and social responsibility
with them in their careers as
educators, entertainers,
social workers, environmental engineers, lawyers,
journalists, artists, administrators, care providers,
counselors, entrepreneurs
and business people, as well
as in their interests and
activities outside of the
workplace.

The demands on Evergreen students are perhaps
both greater and different
than on students in traditional college settings, and it
naturally follows that the
results are greater, too. A
recent survey found that
both employers and graduate school faculty ranked
Evergreen graduates higher
in six main areas of preparedness (writing, speaking,
critical thinking, blending
theory with practice,
appreciating cultural
differences and integrating
information) than counterparts from other schools.

Student Support Services and Activities
Evergreen's learning environment is profoundly engaging and challenging. Ideally, the education you receive here will bridge
the gaps between academic disciplines and enable you to view concepts, problems and solutions in a unified, interdisciplinary
manner. It's an experience designed purposely to empower you for your entire life, not just to prepare you for a job.
You will find the experience most valuable if you look carefully at the many decisions you'll be making about your education,
if you take responsibility for your own learning and keep your eyes wide open for the rich and varied opportunities Evergreen
offers.
Evergreen's commitment to you means more than just making all this available. It also means we're committed to helping you
succeed and make the most of your academic career, your social development and your physical well-being. Sound advice,
genuine support, good information and easily accessible resources for both work and play are invaluable tools for students
entering and making their way through the Evergreen community of learners. We encourage you to take full advantage of these
services. For further information, see Campus Services and Resources, beginning on page 112.

Academic Planning and Experiential Learning (APEL)
Kitty Parker, Director
LIB 1401, ext. 6312
APEL offers information on academic programs and individual and group advising sessions when you need
advice, as well as information on degree requirements,
individual contracts, internships, credit for prior
learning and other academic concerns. You'll find it an excellent resource for all your academic planning.

Evergreen's Social Contract
When you make the decision to come
to Evergreen, you are also making the
decision to become closely associated
with its values. A central focus of those
values is freedom - freedom to
explore ideas and to discuss those ideas
in both speech and print; freedom from
reprisal for voicing concerns and
beliefs, no matter how unpopular. It's
this freedom that is so necessary in a
vibrant, dynamic learning community.

As members of the Evergreen community, we acknowledge our mutual
. responsibility for maintaining conditions under which learning can flourish.
- conditions characterized by openness, honesty, civility and fairness.
These conditions carry with them
certain rights and responsibilities that
apply to us both as groups and as
individuals. Our rights ... and our
responsibilities ... are expressed in
Evergreen's Social Contract, a document that has defined and guided the
college's values since its very beginning.

Evergreen is an institution and a community that continues to
organize itself so that it can clear away obstacles to learning .
In order that both creative and routine work can be focused
on education, and so that the mutual and reciprocal roles of
campus community members can best reflect the goals and
purposes of the college, a system of governance and decision
making consonant with those goals and purposes is required.
Purpose: Evergreen can thrive only if members respect the
rights of others while enjoying their own rights. Students,
faculty, administrators, and staff members may differ widely
in their specific interests, in the degree and kinds of experiences they bring to Evergreen, and in the functions which they
have agreed to perform. All inust share alike in prizing
academic and interpersonal honesty, in responsibly obtaining
and in providing full and accurate information, and in
resolving their differences through due process and with a
strong will to collaboration.
The Evergreen community should support experimentation
with new and better ways to achieve Evergreen's goals.
Specifically, it must attempt to emphasize the sense of
community and require members of the campus community to
play multiple, reciprocal, and reinforcing roles in both the
teaching/learning process and in the governance process.
• Freedom and civility: The individual members of the Evergreen community are responsible for protecting each other
and visitors on campus from physical harm, from personal
threats, and from uncivil abuse. Civility is not just a word; it
must be present in all our interactions. Similarly, the institution is obligated, both by principle and by the general law, to
protect its property from damage and unauthorized use and
its operating processes from interruption. Members of the
community must exercise the rights accorded them to voice
their opinions with respect to basic matters of policy and
other issues. The Evergreen community will support the right
of its members, individually or in groups, to express ideas,
judgments, and opinions in speech or writing. The members
of the community, however, are obligated to make statements
in their own names and not as expressions on behalf of the
college. The board of trustees or the president speaks on
behalf of the college and may at times share or delegate the

The Social Contract is an agreement ...
a guide for civility and tolerance
toward others ... a reminder that
respecting others and remaining open
to others and their ideas provides a
powerful framework for teaching and
learning.

and Individual

Freedom

responsibility to others within the college. Among the basic
rights of individuals are freedom of speech, freedom of
peaceful assembly and association, freedom of belief, and
freedom from intimidation, violence and abuse.
Individual and institutional rights: Each member of the
community must protect: the fundamental rights of others in
the community as citizens; the right of each member in the
community to pursue different learning objectives within the
limits defined by Evergreen's curriculum or resources of
people, materials, equipment and money; the rights and
obligations of Evergreen as an institution established by the
state of Washington; and individual rights to fair and equitable procedures when the institution acts to protect the safety
of its members.
Society and the college: Members of the Evergreen community
recognize that the college is part of the larger society as
represented by the state of Washington, which funds it, and by
the community of greater Olympia, in which it is located.
Because the Evergreen community is part of the larger society,
the campus is not a sanctuary from the general law or
invulnerable to general public opinion.
All members of the Evergreen community should strive to
prevent the financial, political, or other exploitation of the
campus by any individual or group.
Evergreen has the right to prohibit individuals and groups
from using its name, its financial or other resources, and its
facilities for commercial or political activities.
Prohibition against discrimination: There may be no discrimination at Evergreen with respect to race, sex, age, handicap,
sexual orientation, religious or political belief, or national
origin in considering individuals' admission, employment, or
promotion. To this end the college has adopted an affirmative
action policy approved by the state Human Rights Commission and the Higher Education Personnel Board. ".Affirmative
action complaints shall be handled in accordance with state
law, as amended (e.g., Chapter 49.74 RCW; RCW 28B.6.100;
Chapter 251-23 WAC).
'The college's anti-discrimination policy is now approved only by the
Governor's Affirmative Action Policy Committee (GAAPCOM).

Student Conduct Code/Grievance

and Appeals

Complementing Evergreen's Social Contract is the Student Conduct Code - Grievance and
Appeals Process. This document defines specific examples of Social Contract violations and
delineates appropriate corrective action. The code also defines the role of the grievance
officer and proscribes the processes for informal conflict resolution, grievances and appeals
procedures.
Copies of the Student Conduct Code are available at the Office of the Vice President for
Student Affairs Office, LIB 3236.
Copies of Evergreen's policy on sexual harassment are available from the Equal Opportunity
Office, LIB 3103.

Right to privacy: All members of the college community have
the right to organize their personal lives and conduct according to their own values and preferences, with an appropriate
respect for the rights of others to organize their lives differently.
All members of the Evergreen community are entitled to
privacy in the college's offices, facilities devoted to educational
programs and housing. The same right of privacy extends to
personal papers, confidential records and personal effects,
whether maintained by the individual or by the institution.
Evergreen does not stand in loco parentis

Open forum and access to information: All members of the
Evergreen community enjoy the right to hold and to participate in public meetings, to post notices on the campus, and to
engage in peaceful demonstrations.
Reasonable and impartially applied rules may be set with respect to time, place and
use of Evergreen facilities in these activities.
As an institution, Evergreen has the obligation to provide
open forums for the members of its community to present and
to debate public issues, to consider the problems of the
college, and to serve as a mechanism of widespread involvement in the life of the larger community.

for its members.

Intellectual freedom and honesty: Evergreen's members live
under a special set of rights and responsibilities, foremost
among which is that of enjoying the freedom to explore ideas
and to discuss their explorations in both speech and print.
Both institutional and individual censorship are at variance
with this basic freedom. Research or other intellectual efforts,
the results of which must be kept secret or may be used only
for the benefit of a special interest group, violate the principle
of free inquiry.
An essential condition for learning is the freedom and right on
the part of an individual or group to express minority,
unpopular, or controversial points of view. Only if minority
and unpopular points of view are listened to and given
opportunity for expression will Evergreen provide bona fide
opportunities for significant learning.
Honesty is an essential condition of learning, teaching or
working. It includes the presentation of one's own work in
one's own name, the necessity to claim only those honors
earned, and the recognition of one's own biases and prejudices.

The governance system must rest on open and ready access to
information by all members of the community, as well as on
the effective keeping of necessary records.
In the Evergreen community, individuals should not feel
intimidated or be subject to reprisal for voicing their concerns
or for participating in governance or policy making.
Decision-making
processes must provide equal opportunity to
initiate and participate in policy making, and Evergreen
policies apply equally regardless of job description, status or
role in the community. However, college policies and rules
shall not conflict with state law or statutory, regulatory and/or
contractual commitments to college employees.
Political activities: The college is obligated not to take a
position, as an institution, in electoral politics or on public
issues except for those matters which directly affect its
integrity, the freedom of the members of its community, its
financial support and its educational programs. At the same
time, Evergreen has the obligation to recognize and support its
community members' rights to engage, as citizens of the larger
society, in political affairs, in any way that they may elect
within the provision of the general law.

The college seeks qualified students

willingness to participate in their
educational process within a collaborative framework.
The college desires students who also
express an interest in campus or
community involvement, a respect and
tolerance for individual differences and
a willingness to experiment with
innovative modes of teaching and

Cri.teri.a
for Fi.rst-Year Students
Students entering directly from high
school and high school graduates who
have accumulated fewer than 40
transferable quarter credits by the
application deadline will be considered
for admission on the following basis:
High school grade-point average (GPA);
Test scores in the Scholastic Aptitude Test
(SAT) or American College Testing (ACT);
Good standing of college work
completed after high school graduation.

Because the college seeks to achieve a
diverse student body, special recognition
will be given to applicants who are
African American, Native American/
IndianlNative Alaskan, Asian American/
Pacific Islander, Hispanic, Vietnam-era
veterans, adults 25 and older and
students whose parents have not
graduated from college. Determination
of diversity factors is based on information provided on the Washington
Uniform Undergraduate Application.
Washington residents may be given
admissions priority.
First-year students are required to
have completed the following collegepreparatory program in high school:
English

4 years

Social studies

3 years

Foreign language

2 years

Mathematics

3 years

Science (at least one lab science)

2 years

Fine, visual and performing arts

1 year

Or college-prep elective
from one of the above areas

English: Four years of English study are
required, at least three of which must be
in composition and literature. One of
the four years may be satisfied by
courses in public speaking, drama as
literature, debate, journalistic writing,
business English or a course in English
as a second language (ESL). Courses
that are not generally acceptable include
those identified as remedial or applied
(e.g., developmental reading, remedial
English, basic English skills, review
English, yearbook/annual/newspaper
staff, acting, library).

Social science: Three years of study are
required in history or in any of the
social sciences, e.g., anthropology,
contemporary world problems, economics, geography, government, political
science, psychology, sociology. Credit
awarded for student government,
leadership, community service or other
applied or activity courses will not
satisfy this requirement.
Foreign language: Two years of study in
a single foreign language are required. A
course in foreign language or study in
American Sign Language taken in the
eighth grade may satisfy one year of the
requirement if the second-year course is
completed in high school. Two years of
study in American Sign Language will
satisfy the foreign language requirement. The foreign-language requirement
will be considered satisfied for students
from non-English-speaking countries
who entered the United States educational system at the eighth grade or
later.
Mathematics: Three years of mathematics are required, at the level of algebra,
geometry and advanced (second-year)
algebra. More advanced mathematics
courses are recommended, such as
trigonometry, mathematical analysis,
elementary functions and calculus.
Arithmetic, prealgebra and business
mathematics courses will not meet the
requirement. An algebra course taken in
the eighth grade may satisfy one year of
the requirement if second-year algebra is
completed in high school.
Science: Two years are required. One
full year - both semesters in the same
field - of biology, chemistry, or physics
must be completed with a laboratory
component. The second year of science
may be completed in any course that
satisfies your high school's graduation
requirement in science. Two years of
agricultural science is equivalent to one
year of science. It is strongly recommended that students planning to major
in science or science-related fields
complete at least three years of science,
including at least two years of laboratory science.
Fine, visual and performing arts or
academic electives: One year of study is
required in the fine, visual and performing arts, or in any of these areas. The
fine, visual, and performing arts include
study in art appreciation, band,
ceramics, choir, dance, dramatic
performance and production, drawing,
fiber arts, graphic arts, metal design,
music appreciation, music theory,

orchestra, painting, photography,
pottery, printmaking and sculpture.
In addition, students should choose
electives that offer significant preparation for a challenging college curriculum. Honors and advanced-placement
(AP) courses are strongly encouraged.
Interdisciplinary study and courses that
stress skills in writing, research and
communication are especially helpful in
preparing for Evergreen's innovative
programs.
Admission can be granted on the
basis of six semesters of high school
work, though seven semesters are
preferred. Before final acceptance by
Evergreen, applicants conditionally
accepted on this basis must submit a
transcript showing the completed high
school record and date of graduation.
Failure to submit a final transcript that
shows satisfactory completion of
admission requirements will result in
disenrollment.
Nontraditional high schools must
provide transcripts that indicate course
content and level of achievement.
"Home-schooled"
applicants: Applicants who have completed their
secondary schooling through "homeschooling" are evaluated on an individual basis. It is necessary, however,
that a recognized state agency, such as
the Superintendent of Public Instruction,
verify that the applicant has met the
academic core requirements. This
verification should list subjects and titles
of course work, the amount of credit
earned and the level of achievement
through written evaluations or traditional grades. If verification is not
possible, the applicant will be required
to submit official GED test scores.
Home-schooled applicants are also
required to submit official SAT or ACT
test results.
High school students who have earned
college credit or who are currently
participating in Washington's Running
Start program: These students are
considered under the first-year criteria
for admission purposes, regardless of
the number of credits earned. However,
Running Start participants who have
earned an Associate of Arts degree prior
to the application deadline, as reflected
on their official transcripts, will be
considered for admission under the
transfer students' criteria.

Cri.teri.a
for Transfer

Students

Transfer students, i.e., those who are
not currently enrolled in high school and
who have earned 40 or more quarter
credits of transferable work at accredited
colleges or universities by the application
deadline, will be considered for admission on the following basis:
GPA (minimum 2.0 cumulative);
_Good standing at the last institution
attended; and
_Satisfactory completion of a variety of
courses in the liberal arts and the
sciences.
Course work should include classes in
the humanities, social sciences, natural
sciences and art.
Because the college seeks a diverse
student body, special recognition will be
given to applicants who are African
American, Native American Indian/
Native Alaskan, Asian American/Pacific
Islander, Hispanic, Vietnam-era veterans,
adults 25 and older and students whose
parents have not graduated from college.
Determination
of diversity factors is
based on information provided on the
Washington Uniform Undergraduate
Application. In addition, special consideration will be given to applicants who
(a) have 90 quarter credits of transferable college work; (b) have an Associate
of Arts degree from a Washington
community college; or (c) have an
Associate of Technical Arts degree from
a Washington community college with
which Evergreen has negotiated an
Upside Down Program (see page 28).
Washington residents may be given
admissions priority.
Applicants from other institutions who
have completed 40 quarter credits of
transferable work (see Transfer of Credit
section, page 27) need not submit high
school transcripts. Transfer students
must submit official transcripts from
every college or university attended.
Currently enrolled students should
ensure that the most recent transcript of
their work at the current college is sent
to Evergreen, then have a final official
copy sent immediately upon completion
of all course work there. Failure to
submit a final satisfactory transcript, as
well as all transcripts of previous college
work, will result in disenrollment.
Students who will not be able to
complete 40 transferable quarter credits
by the application deadline must submit
official high school transcripts,
precollege test scores from either the SAT
or ACT or WPC (if the WPC was taken
prior to 6/1/89) along with official
transcripts from every college or

vocational institute attended, regardless
of credit earned or nature of the program.
Note: Evergreen encourages all transfer
students to complete a variety of
academic courses in the arts, the humanities, mathematics, the sciences and the
social sciences that give the student a
solid foundation for intermediate and
advanced-level work. We strongly
encourage all transfer students to
complete the English composition course
sequence (including research paper) at
their present college, if currently enrolled.

Other Cri.teri.a
General Education Development Tests
Applications will be considered from
persons 18 years of age or older who
have not graduated from an accredited
high school but who have completed
GED tests. Normally, GED test scores
should be at the 60th percentile or above
in all categories. GED applicants must
also submit any college transcripts and
scores for the SAT, ACT or WPC (if WPC
was taken prior to 6/1/89).
Returning Students
Former students planning to return to
Evergreen after withdrawing or taking a
leave of absence of more than four
quarters must complete the regular
application process and submit transcripts from all institutions attended since
leaving Evergreen.
First-Year Students 25 or Older
Applicants 25 years of age or older
who have fewer than 40 quarter credits
of transferable work are not necessarily
subject to the stated freshman criteria
and may be evaluated through alternative
criteria. Please contact the Admissions
Office for more information.
International Students
The college will consider applications
from international students who have
met the minimum entrance requirements
for universities in their native country
and who can provide evidence of
proficiency in English. International
students transferring from a college or
university must show satisfactory
completion of courses at a minimum
achievement level of C+ or 75 percent or
equivalent. Applicants must score at least
525 on the Test of English as a Foreign
Language. Applicants must also show
evidence of having at least $16,000 (U.S.)
to pay normal expenses for one year's
enrollment at Evergreen. Interested
international students must request, in
writing, specific information about
application processes from the Admissions Office by February 1. All application materials for international students
must be received in the Admissions
Office by April 15.

application materials (the Washington
Uniform Undergraduate Application,
transcripts or precollege test scores) will
not be accepted as part of the application. Original copies must arrive in the
Admissions Office by 5 p.m. on the date
of the deadline.
Note: Students who have already
earned a B.A. or B.S. degree need only
submit an official transcript from the

If admitted to the college, high school
seniors will need to provide an official,
final high school transcipt showing that
they have graduated, prior to the start
of the quarter. High school seniors
cannot complete their high school
course work as matriculating students at
the college.
If, in receiving an application,
Evergreen determines that a person's
enrollment could present a physical
danger to the campus community, the
college reserves the right to deny
admission.

Late Applications
The college reserves the right to
accept applications after the stated
deadlines if space remains available.
You are strongly encouraged to submit a
timely application. Please contact the
Admissions Office for further information before sending an application after
the deadlines.

Notification and Deposit
Target dates for notification of
admission are April 1, 1997 for fall
quarter 1997; November 3, 1997 for
winter quarter 1998 and January 5,
1998 for spring quarter 1998. Upon
notice of eligibility you will be asked to
send a nonrefundable tuition deposit of
$50 by a stated deadline to assure your
place at the college for the quarter of
admission. However, admission and
deposit do not guarantee your enrollment in a particular program, contract
or course. Offers of admission cannot
be deferred or transferred from one
quarter to another. Applicants should
contact the Admissions Office for more
information.

Eligibility for Admission
Eligible applicants are ranked by
means of formulas that combine
academic factors, i.e., grade-point
average and/or test scores, and diversity
factors. Because the number of qualified
applicants generally exceeds the number
of spaces available in the entering class,
we are unable to offer admission to all
qualified applicants.

Transfer of Credit
Evergreen has a generous policy of
accepting credit from other accredited
institutions. The maximum amount of
credit that can be transferred is 135
quarter hours (90 semester hours). The
maximum number of credits that can be
transferred from two-year colleges is 90
quarter hours (60 semester hours).
To transfer credit, supply official
transcripts of all previous work when
you apply for admission. Policy varies
depending on the kind of institution
from which you transfer and the kinds
of course work involved. In general,
courses are acceptable if a minimum 2.0
grade point or grade of C was received.
Courses in physical education, remedial
work, military science and religion are
not transferable. Some vocational and
personal development courses are
transferable; others are not. Contact the
Admissions Office for details and to
obtain the Transfer Guide. Evergreen
abides by the policies outlined in
Washington's Policy on Intercollege
Transfer and Articulation.
An evaluation of your official
transcript is made after you have been
admitted and paid the $50 nonrefundable advance tuition deposit.

Community College Transfer
If you are a transfer student who has
completed the appropriate academic

receive the maximum of 90 transfer
credits. Since community colleges offer
several degree programs, you should
consult your advisor for more specific
information.

Other Sources of Transfer Credit
Evergreen accepts credits earned
through CLEP, AP, PEP and IB work on
a case-by-case basis, as long as the
credits do not duplicate credit earned at
other institutions, including Evergreen.
Other national credit-by-examination
options are reviewed on a case-by-case
basis. The student must contact the
testing company and have official test
scores sent to the Admissions Office.
Applicants who have completed AP
examinations must submit official
scores directly from the testing company
to the Admissions Office for evaluation.
A test score of 3, 4 or 5 is required on
advanced placement tests to receive
credit.
CLEP general and subject examinations may also generate credit. CLEP
credit is also accepted as part of an
associate's degree in a direct-transfer
agreement with a Washington state
community college. Students must
request that official test results be sent
directly from the testing center to the
Admissions Office prior to the application deadline.
Evergreen recognizes and will award
up to 45 credits for IB work, based on a
minimum of three higher-level subject
marks and three subsidiary-level subject
marks with scores of 4 or better.
Students without the final IB diploma
and with scores of 4 or better on the
exams, may be eligible to receive partial
credit.
Applicants should contact the
Admissions Office for more information.

Upside Down Program
If you hold a vocational or technical
associate's degree from an accredited
two-year community college, you may
be eligible for the Upside Down
Program.
Working with a faculty committee,
you earn 90 credits at Evergreen in
interdisciplinary study designed to
assure a level of general education
comparable to other bachelor's degree
recipients. Upon successful completion
of 90 Evergreen credits, 90 transfer
credits will be posted and you will be
recommended for a bachelor's degree.
Noncompletion of the recommended 90
Evergreen credits results in a course-bycourse evaluation of your course work,
which usually produces fewer than 90
transfer credits.
Minimum eligibility criteria include a
cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 and
satisfactory completion of one English
composition course. Students applying
for fall quarter admission prior to
completion of their technical degree and
with fewer than 40 transferable credits
by the application deadline must also
provide the Admissions Office with
official high school transcripts or GED
test scores and official precollege test
scores from the SAT, ACT or WPC (if
WPC was taken prior to 6/1/89).
Students 25 or older should contact the
Admissions Office for information
concerning the necessary criteria.
Students applying for admission winter
or spring quarter prior to the completion of a vocational or technical degree
must have 40 transferable quarter
credits by the application deadline.
Generally, associate's degrees in
forestry, fisheries, business, computer
programming, social services, nursing,
education, communications and health
services are acceptable for the Upside
Down Program. Please contact the
Admissions Office about your eligibility,
which must be approved no later than
the 30th day of your first quarter.

Attention Housing and
Scholarship Applicants

Special Students
and Auditors

Admission to the college does not
assure you a room assignment in college
housing. Please contact the Housing
Office for information about on-campus
housing and observe that office's firstcome, first-served application process.
You may complete the housing application process even before notification of
admission to establish a priority award
date.
Scholarship information is available
from the dean of Enrollment Services
after November 1, 1996. Application
deadline for these scholarships is
February 3, 1997.
You are encouraged to prepare your
scholarship application(s) concurrently
with your application for admission.

Students wishing to enroll on a parttime basis prior to seeking admission to
the college may register as "special
students" for a maximum of eight
credits per quarter. The educational
outreach coordinator for Part-Time
Studies assists special students with
academic advising and registration
information. Please refer to page 36 for
further information about the Part-Time
Studies program.
Auditing a program or course may be
allowed with written permission from
faculty. Auditors receive neither credit
nor narrative evaluations that could be
applied toward a degree if they later
apply for admission. The Registration
and Records Office can assist students
wishing to audit.

Retention of Records
Credentials, including original
documents submitted in support of an
application for admission, become the
property of the college and are not
returnable or reproducible. Transcripts
of students who do not register for the
term for which they applied will be held
two years before being discarded.
You must request transcripts of work
done at other schools directly from
those schools, not from copies in
Evergreen's files.

Summer Quarter
Summer quarter enrollment is
handled through the Office of Registration and Records and does not require
formal admission.
Full-time students who wish to
continue their studies into fall quarter
can do so only if they have been
admitted to the college through the
application process described in the To
Apply for Admission section. However,
if you are interested in the college's PartTime Studies program, please review the
preceding section titled Special Students
and Auditors.

-Fi.nanci.al Ai.d
Evergreen participates in most federal
and state financial aid programs. You
must apply for these programs every
year. Financial aid application packets
are generally available by mid-January.
Because funds are limited, it is recommended you submit your 1997-98 Free
Federal Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA) to the processor by
February 15, 1997 to receive full
consideration for all available campusbased financial aid. For more information, please consult the flier called
Application for Student Financial Aid,
which outlines the application process,
priority filing dates and other details.
We encourage financial aid applicants
to obtain a FAFSA from the high school
or community college they currently
attend. If you are not currently enrolled,
please write us to request that a FAFSA
be sent to you as soon as they become
available.
Evergreen's goal is to provide
financial guidance to all students and
financial aid to those who could not
otherwise attend Evergreen. The
awarding of grants, loans or employment, or a combination of these, is
based on financial need and can only
supplement the contribution of the
student and the student's family. Priority
is given to full-time students seeking a
first bachelor's or master's degree.

L------------~.For

GEORGEnE

CHUN

DIRECTOR OF FINANCIAL

Financial aid is awarded quarterly by
the Financial Aid Office to coincide
with tuition and fee payments. In
general, all charges are deducted from
the quarterly award, with the balance
paid to the student during the first week
of instruction. Exceptions are subsidized
and unsubsidized federal Stafford loans,
which have rolling disbursement dates
based on remittance by the student's
lender, and on-campus work-study
earnings, which are distributed through
monthly payroll checks.
The Financial Aid Office also offers
financial counseling and maintains a
listing of part-time employment
opportunities both on and off campus.
Emergency Loan Program
Emergency loan funds are contributed
by businesses, service and professional
organizations,
by individuals in the
community and by state regulation. This
program aids continuing students who
have temporary need by providing
short-term loans of up to $300. Apply
at the Financial Aid Office.

A variety of scholarships funded by
the college's foundation and private
donors are available. Most of these
scholarships are awarded on the basis of
merit, e.g., high academic achievement,
community service, artistic or musical
talent, etc. For more information about
these scholarships, please write or call
the Office of the Dean of Enrollment
Services, 866-6000, ext. 6310.
Scholarship information is available
from the dean of Enrollment Services
after November 1, 1996. Application
deadline for these scholarships is
February 3, 1997. Scholarship information will also be available on Evergreen's
Web site at http://www.evergreen.edu.
You are encouraged to prepare your
scholarship application(s) concurrently
with your application for admission.

ResidencyStatusfor Tuition and Fees
To be considered a resident for tuition
and fee purposes, a nonresident must
first establish a domicile in the state of
Washington in compliance with state
laws. You must also establish your
intention to remain in Washington for
purposes other than education. Once
established, the domicile must exist.for
one year prior to the first day of the
quarter you plan to enroll as a resident
student.
If you are a dependent student
(claimed by a parent for tax purposes),
you are eligible for residency only if one
or both of your parents or your legal
guardian has had a domicile in this state
for at least one year prior to the first
day of the quarter.
Applications to change residency
status must be made no earlier than four
to six weeks prior to the quarter in
which you may become eligible, and no
later than the 30th calendar day of the
quarter in which you may become
eligible. Applications are available at the
Office of Registration and Records.

Billingand PaymentProcedures
The Student Accounts Office assembles most student financial information, both charges and credits, and
prepares a periodic statement. This
allows registered students to submit a
single check for tuition, fees, housing
and other charges by mail or night
depository.
Tuition and fees are billed quarterly
by mail if you are "preregistered."
Payments in full must be in the
Cashier's Office by 3:45 p.m. on the
deadline indicated for each quarter.
Cash, check, money order, Visa and
Mastercard are all acceptable forms of
payment.
In accordance with Section 438 of
Public Law 93-380 (Family Education
Rights and Privacy Act of 1974), billing
information will only be discussed with
or mailed to the student. Payment of all

fees is ultimately the responsibility of
the student. If the student is dependent
on someone else for financial support
while attending Evergreen, it is his or
her responsibility to make sure that the
other party is aware of what payments
are due and that the payments are made
on time. You may set up a special billing
address so your bills are sent directly to
the person who pays them. Contact the
Student Accounts Office for more
information.
Failure to pay tuition and fees in full
by the deadline will result in cancellation of registration. Payments must be
received by the deadline; i.e., postmarks
are not considered.
Students allowed to register during
the second week of class must pay a $15
late registration fee. Students allowed to
register or re-enroll after the second
week of the quarter must pay a $50
late-registration fee.

New and Continuing Student
Enrollment Process
If you are a continuing student,
registration information will be mailed
to you each quarter. If you are registering for fall quarter of next year, you
should select your academic program(s)
in mid-May. If you are a new student,
you will be asked to participate in an
orientation and an academic advising
session before you register. The college
will inform you about these activities
after you have been offered admission.
Entrance into a program is based on
your registration priority. Some
programs require a faculty interview or
audition for entry. Early registration will
increase your chances of getting into the
program of your choice. As a full-time
Evergreen student, you will be enrolled
in only one full-time learning activity.
When you enroll, you will designate the
length of your program or contract by
specifying the beginning and ending
dates. You also will specify the number
of credit hours you'll take per quarter
during that period. There will be no
need to re-enroll each quarter during
this designated period if you continue in
the same program or contract. Changes
in the dates or amount of credit need to
be made as far in advance as possible to
assure proper assessment of tuition and
fees.
Special registration periods are held
for those desiring to enroll as nondegree-seeking special students or
auditors. These special registration
periods usually coincide with the
opening dates of each quarter, which are
announced in both on- and off-campus
publications.

Address Changes
Throughout the year, important
information will be mailed to you from
a variety of campus offices, therefore
you are required to keep a current
address - even one of short duration on file with the Office of Registration
and Records throughout your stay at
the college. (See also Billing and
Payment Procedures on page 30.)
To Drop or Change a Program
If you want to reduce credit, or drop
or change a program, you must do so by
the 30th calendar day of the quarter.
Use a Change of Registration form from
the Office of Registration and Records,
and also check to see if faculty signatures are required for the particular
programs involved. It is essential to
complete these in advance. (See Refunds/Appeals on page 30.)

Withdrawal
You may withdraw any time up to
the 30th calendar day of the quarter,
but please inform the Office of Registration and Records. (See the tuition
and fee refund schedule on page 30.)
Leave of Absence
If you have been regularly admitted
and registered and have attended at
least one quarter, but need to "step
out" for a while, you are eligible for a
leave of absence of no more than one
year. If you are not enrolled in a
program or contract by the enrollment
deadline, you are considered to be on
leave (up to one year).
Veteran Students
The Evergreen State College's
programs of study are approved by the
Washington State Higher Education
Coordinating Board's State Approving
Agency (HECB/SAA) for enrollment of
persons eligible to receive educational
benefits under Title 38 and Title 10

Academi.c Credi.t
General Policies
You accumulate academic credit for
work well done and levels of performance reached and surpassed. Credit,
expressed in quarter hours, will be
entered on the permanent academic
record only if you fulfill academic
obligations. Evergreen will not accept
credit twice for the same course work.
Partial Credit Options
Some programs will make provisions
for partial credit, others will not. That
determination rests with the faculty of
each particular program or contract.
Faculty members will announce their
policy at the outset of the quarter.
Exceptions are made only with their
approval.
Credit Limit
Students may register for a maximum
of 16 credits during any given quarter.
Students concurrently pursuing course
work at another college may register for
a combined maximum of 16 credits.
Credits earned beyond this limit will not
be accepted.
Evaluation
Evergreen's credit system distinguishes between quantity and quality.
The quantity of your academic work is
recognized by an award of credit based
on satisfactory completion of your
program, contract or course requirements. The quality of your work is .
expressed in a written evaluation.
To evaluate your work, you meet
individually with the faculty member
who leads your seminar. At the end of
each quarter, two evaluations are
written about your academic accomplishments, one by your faculty member
and one by you. For more about this
unique way of grading, see page 4.

Amending Faculty Evaluations
of Students
Any student who feels a faculty
evaluation is incomplete, inaccurate or
otherwise in error may seek to have the
evaluation amended. Within 30 days of
the date the student receives the final
evaluation, the student must talk with,
or write to, the faculty member who
signed the evaluation. If satisfactory
resolution is not reached, then, in the
case of a team-taught program, the
student is expected to talk with or write
to the program's faculty team. If the
evaluation still has not been amended to
the student's satisfaction, the student
has 30 calendar days to request a
hearing from an academic dean. Copies
of the form to request a hearing from a
dean, as well as copies of the policy for
amending student records, are available
at the Academic Deans' Office, LIB
2211. Changes cannot be made to an
evaluation once it has been sent out as
part of a transcript.
Academic Honesty
Academic honesty is a necessity in a
learning community. It makes coherent
discourse possible and is a condition for
all sharing, dialogue and evaluation. All
forms of academic dishonesty, including
cheating, fabrication, facilitating
academic dishonesty and plagiarism, are
violations of the Social Contract.
Cheating is defined as intentionally
using or attempting to use unauthorized
materials, information or study aids in
any academic exercise. Plagiarism is
defined as representing the works or
ideas of another as one's own in any
academic exercise. It includes but is not
limited to copying materials directly,
failure to cite sources of arguments and
data, and failure to explicitly acknowledge joint work or authorship of
assignments.

Record Keepi.ng
Transcript and Portfolio
The transcript and portfolio are the
main records of your academic achievement at Evergreen. Maintained by the
Office of Registration and Records,
your transcript will include all work
done for credit, the official description
of the program or contract, faculty
evaluations and, when required, your
own evaluations.
Unless you go on a leave of absence,
withdraw or change programs, credit
and evaluations are reported only at the
end of a program or contract. Once the
evaluation is accepted in the Office of
Registration and Records, a copy is sent
to you. If you need your faculty to
further revise your evaluation, you have
30 calendar days or until you request
your transcript to be sent out, whichever comes first.
Since your self-evaluation becomes
part of your permanent transcript, pay
close attention to spelling, typographical
errors, appearance and content before
you turn it in. Your self-evaluation
cannot be removed or revised once it
has been received in the Office of
Registration and Records.
The entire body of information is
mailed when a transcript is requested,
although graduate students who also
attended Evergreen as undergraduates
may request transcripts of only their
graduate work. Please allow two weeks
for processing between your request
(and payment of the $10 fee) and
mailing of the transcript. Evergreen
reserves the right to withhold transcripts
from students who are in debt to the
institution. If you need more information on this issue, contact the Office of
Registration and Records.
You maintain your own portfolio,
which should include official descriptions of all your programs and contracts, copies of faculty evaluations, and
your own self-evaluations, particularly
those not in the transcript. You should
also include examples of your best work
and any other pertinent information.
The portfolio is your academic
biography, to be shared with faculty
during your learning experience and
with graduate schools and prospective
employers in future interviews.

Academic Standing Policy
The academic standing of each
Evergreen student is carefully monitored
to ensure the full development of his or
her academic potential. Any student not
making satisfactory academic progress,
as defined below, is informed of her or
his standing in the college and is advised
accordingly.
Faculty evaluation of student
achievement formally occurs at the
conclusion of programs, contracts,
courses and internships. In addition, any
student in danger of receiving less than
full credit is so notified in writing at
mid-quarter by his or her sponsor. A
student making unsatisfactory academic
progress will receive an academic
warning and may be required to take a
leave of absence.
1. Academic warning. A student who
earns fewer than three-fourths of the
number of registered credits in two
successive quarters will receive an
academic warning issued by the dean of
Enrollment Services. A student registered for six quarter credit hours or
more who receives no credit in any
quarter will receive an academic
warning. Such warning will urge the
student to seek academic advice or
personal counseling from a member of
the faculty or through appropriate
offices in Student Affairs. A student will
be removed from academic warning
status upon receiving at least threefourths of the credit for which he or she
is registered in two successive quarters.

2. Required leave of absence. A
student who has received an academic
warning, and while in warning status
receives either an incomplete or less
than three-fourths of the credit for
which she or he is registered, will be
required to take a leave of absence,
normally for one full year. A waiver of
required leave can be granted only by
the academic dean responsible for
academic standing upon the student's
presentation of evidence of extenuating
circumstances. A student returning from
required leave will re-enter on academic
warning and be expected to make
satisfactory progress toward a
bachelor's degree. Failure to earn at
least three-fourths credit at the first
evaluation period will result in dismissal
from Evergreen.
Graduation Requirements
The minimum requirement for
awarding either the Bachelor of Arts or
the Bachelor of Science is 180 quarter
credit hours. Continuation beyond 200
quarter credit hours without graduating
requires approval by an academic dean .
If you transfer credit from another
college, you must earn at least 45 of the
last 90 quarter credit hours while
enrolled at Evergreen to be eligible for
an Evergreen degree. Prior Learning
credit or CLEP tests do not satisfy the
45-credit requirement.

If you have a bachelor's degree from a
regionally accredited institution
(including Evergreen) and wish to earn a
second bachelor's degree, you must earn
at least 45 additional quarter credit
hours as an enrolled Evergreen student.
The B.S. degree requirement also
includes 72 quarter credit hours in
mathematics and natural science, of
which 48 quarter credit hours must be
in advanced subjects.
Concurrent awards of B.A. and B.S.
degrees require at least 225 quarter
hours, including 90 at Evergreen, and
application at least one year in advance.
To graduate, you must submit an
application form to the Office of
Registration and Records and pay a $25
fee. Contact Registration and Records
at least one quarter in advance of your
anticipated graduation date. For specific
information regarding graduation
requirements for MPA, MES and MIT
programs, please refer to the appropriate graduate catalog.

Selecting Your Program of Study
Consider

what you want to study.

Consider your career goals, if you already have them. Also consider anything else that interests you
and is important to you. It's true that you usually take only one program at a time at Evergreen, but
those programs cover many different subjects. So give yourself the chance to learn broadly.

~

Read the

Catalog

to find the appropriate

programs for you.

If you are a freshman,
carefully consider the Core programs and All Level programs described on pages 43-51.
Almost any Core program can lead into any area of specialization. Especially well-prepared
students may also want to consider other programs that do not list specific prerequisites.
If you are a transfer student,
look up the subjects that interest you in the section entitled Matching Evergreen's Programs
to Your Field of Interest, beginning on page 40. This guide lists all programs which cover
your subjects. Sometimes a Core program will look just right, especially if you are transferring as a first- or second-year student. For some transfers, an intermediate or advanced
program in a Planning Group may be the right choice.
Look at the academic pathways
described in the Planning Groups where your interests lie. Pathways will suggest a logical
sequence for your years of study in a particular field and will help you decide where to
begin.

Discuss

your choices and goals.

with your faculty, or with the staff in the Academic Planning and Experiential Learning (APEL)
office. APEL keeps program descriptions that may have been expanded and updated from what you
read in this Catalog. Often, programs which appear only vaguely appropriate in the Catalog reveal
themselves as exactly appropriate when you read the latest details. APEL staff can also give you
information about new or revised programs.

Attend

the Academic Fair.

The faculty will be assembled there, all in one place at one time, sitting at tables marked with their
program titles. You can discuss program content, style and requirements directly with program
faculty.
Ask all questions; share your puzzlement and enthusiasm. Don't hesitate to ask for advice. If a
program isn't right for you, faculty will direct you to other options.

'-----~.Choose

your program.

In all of these discussions - with the APEL advisors, with prospective faculty - keep your goals in
mind, and also the range of your interests and needs.
Ask for any help you need in making your choice.

Register.
You can register for the full duration of a program, whether it lasts one, two or three quarters.

Pay your tuition

by the deadline,

and that's it! You're ready to attend your first program meeting.

More than half of Evergreen's
students complete one or more internships by the time they graduate. This
compares with a nationwide figure of
less than two percent. Interns work in
businesses, schools, government
agencies, or nonprofit organizations in
Washington state, around the nation
and even in other countries.
Opportunities to conduct internships
are built into many academic programs.
They also are available for juniorlseniorlevel students through individualized
internship learning contracts.
Transfer students are eligible to
conduct internships after they have been
enrolled at Evergreen for at least one
quarter.
Each quarter of an internship is
planned, conducted and evaluated based
on the student's acad~mi~ objectives for
that quarter. Internships include a strong
component of academic activities such
as related reading, a daily journal,
weekly conferences with faculty and
written reports.
Academic Planning and Experiential
Learning (APEL) is the central source of
current information about internship
programs, policies and procedures,
available internship positions and
internship sponsors. APEL staff
members are available throughout the
year to answer questions about the
program and to assist students, sponsors
and field supervisors with all activities
involved in planning, arranging and
conducting internships.
You are encouraged to plan for your
internship at least one quarter ahead of
time. For more information, call or
write: APEL, The Evergreen State
College, Olympia, WA 98505.

Prior Learning
From Experience (PLE)
PLE is a structured program for adult
students who want to document their
precollege experience for potential
academic credit. PLE students plan,
develop and write an extended paper
which discusses the context of their
precollege experience, and the resultant
learning.
When completed, the document is
submitted to a PLE Credit Evaluation
Committee for assessment of credit.
Interested students are encouraged to
contact the PLE office after they have
been admitted to the college.
PLE coordinator: Kate Crowe, ext.
6415.

4~ Longhouse Education
and Cultural Center
Evergreen's new Longhouse Education and Cultural Center, opened fall
quarter of 1995, is a center for
multicultural study and a valuable
resource to programs throughout the
curriculum. The Longhouse - the only
building of its kind on a public college
campus in the United States - provides
classroom space, supports Native
American Studies (see page 96), and
attracts conferences and events that
educate, entertain and enrich the college
and surrounding communities. The
building design is based on historic
longhouse structures and the traditions
of Northwest Native American communities.

The Evans Chair
Funded by a state grant and donations from many generous people, the
Daniel J. Evans Chair in Liberal Arts
was established to support Core
programs. Each year a distinguished
scholar is selected to work with Core
programs.

Part-Time Studies
Fall 1993 marked the beginning of a
new experiment for Evergreen: programs offered evenings and weekends
for part-time students. Team-taught,
interdisciplinary work featuring
seminars and narrative evaluations have
been the trademark of an Evergreen
education. Our new Part-Time Studies
program brings these characteristics to
evenings and weekends in a half-time,
eight-credit format. Unlike our other
part-time courses, these evening and
weekend half-time programs are
designed as coherent programs of
coordinated study. The program's
primary goal is to respond to adult
learners unable to attend full time or
during the day. We hope to provide the
adult learner with an opportunity to
experience Evergreen's best innovation
in a format sensitive to the demands of
adult life.
The faculty develop programs that
maintain a thematic line for the entire
year. However, since today's world often
requires us to make changes in life
schedules, faculty have also designed
each quarter to stand alone - allowing
students to enter winter or spring
quarter if space is available.
Part-time courses (for 2-8 credits) are
offered each quarter. Half of these
courses are offered to fill specific needs
of the full-time curriculum, the other
half are designed specifically for
students attending in the evening. In
general, full-time students are discouraged from substituting several courses in
a quarter for participation in a full-time
group contract or coordinated studies
program.
Up-to-date descriptions of part-time
offerings are published quarterly in the
Evergreen Times, which can be obtained
by calling Registration and Records,
ext. 6180.
Please call Wanda Curtis, educational
outreach coordinator for Part-Time
Studies, ext. 6164, for additional
information.

International Studies
and Opportunities
to Study Abroad
Evergreen offers a variety of ways to
study various cultures, both in Olympia
and abroad. The curriculum offers a
number of programs with an international and/or multicultural theme, both
within the various Planning Groups and
in the Core curriculum. In some
programs, opportunities are available
for part-time language study.
Juniors or seniors interested in
complementing their broad Evergreen
education with some depth in international studies, particularly global area
studies, may be eligible to spend a year
at the University of Washington's
Jackson School of International Studies.
Evergreen students have several
options for studying abroad. The
Culture, Text and Language Planning
Group, in particular, usually offers one
or more programs each year in which
students and faculty travel abroad
spring quarter, most typically to Spain,
Latin America, France or Russia. Most
years, the Environmental Studies
Planning Group offers the Tropical
Rainforests program, taught entirely in
Costa Rica's Monteverde cloud forest.
Other programs with an emphasis on
sustainability, community development,
agriculture, natural history and conservation provide opportunities for
projects and internships in the Third
World.
Students who wish to spend a year in
Japan can apply to become one of four
exchange students chosen each year to
study at either Miyazaki University or
Kobe University of Commerce. These
opportunities usually come with
substantial financial assistance.

Evergreen and Washington state's
other public institutions collaborate in a
unique interdisciplinary program in
Ecuador, which allows students to study
and experience firsthand not only the
language but the environmental, social,
political and economic impacts of
development in Latin America through
classroom and internship study.

Students may also study abroad
through individual learning contracts,
group contracts or programs offered by
other U.S. universities. For information
regarding these options, read the
relevant Catalog sections and contact
Chris Ciancetta, coordinator of
international programs and services in
the Student Advising Center.

Programs in the 1997-98 curriculum with a strong international focus include:

Condensed Curriculum 1997-98
These two pages feature the titles of programs planned in the spring of 1996 for the 1997-98 academic year. The Condensed
Curriculum allows you to scan all of the college's academic offerings while determining your pathway through the curriculum. All
of Evergreen's programs are organized within Planning Groups, which are topical groupings of academic offerings planned by a
group of faculty with similar interests. Within each Planning Group, you will find All Level programs, intermediate programs
with a prerequisite of one year of college and no other specific requirements, and advanced programs geared toward junior- and
senior-level students and offering upper-division credits. As you plan your educational pathway, you may decide to work for a
number of quarters within one Planning Group, or you may move from area to area to broaden your education. Either pattern is
appropriate, depending on your academic goals.

Programs for First-Year Students
DEAN OF FIRST
MASAO SUGIYAMA

YEAR STUDIES:

First-year students typically choose between two types of programs - Core and All
Level. Core programs are designed to give first-year students a solid foundation of
knowledge and skills in preparation for more advanced studies. They may also be
appropriate for sophomore-level transfer students who feel they need more preparation before taking sophomore-level or upper-division programs. All Level programs
are designed to serve freshmen alongside students at the sophomore, junior and
senior levels - 25 percent of the seats are set aside for first-year students. Some
sophomore-level programs may accept a limited number of first-year students who
are particularly well-prepared for college-level work.
Core programs will introduce you to the central mode of study at Evergreen coordinated studies - in which faculty members from different academic disciplines
use their knowledge to help you explore a central theme or problem. This interdisciplinary approach means you will study an issue or a topic as a whole, rather than as
a collection of unrelated fragments. Core programs reveal the full breadth of the
issues that will concern you - the connection of artistic expression to social
condition, for example, or the relation of biological facts to individual psychology.
Core programs emphasize the development of college-level skills necessary for you
to do more advanced college work. For most students this means learning how to
write at college level in various modes, read carefully, analyze arguments, skillfully
reason quantitatively or mathematically, work cooperatively in small project or
discussion groups and use the many resources in the Library and elsewhere on
campus. Core programs also provide an opportunity to connect your studies with
your own intellectual and personal concerns. You will learn the skills you will need
to design your education, both at Evergreen and after. Core programs take the time
necessary to develop college-level academic skills, and Evergreen's small studentfaculty ratio in Core programs - 23:1 - ensures close interaction between you,
your faculty, and other students.
Each of the Core programs listed in this section is an integrated study program
combining several activities: seminars, individual conferences with faculty members,
lectures, field trips and laboratories - depending on the content and goals of the
program. In a Core program you learn about several traditional academic disciplines
in relation to the program's central theme or topic, while learning at the same time
about your own goals, about defining and dealing with problems, and about the
college's people and facilities.
Like Core programs, All Level programs are broadly interdisciplinary coordinated
studies. They also combine seminars, individual conferences with faculty members,
lectures, field trips and laboratories - depending on the content and goals of the
program. Like all Evergreen programs, they assume college-level skills.
Pages 44-51 contain a listing of Core and All Level programs to make the
selection process easier for first-year students.

This core program examines trends in family
life, the role of youth in society, the nature
and function of America's educational
institutions, the future of jobs and the
organization of work.
We start by reviewing the main concerns
and debates over these subjects in contemporary America, then backtrack to trace the
social forces and political struggles that
shaped these institutions and brought us to
our current situation. Our historical review
includes attention to variation and interactions of race, ethnicity, class and gender. We
then discuss what today's generation of youth
is facing as you move through these
institutions and how you might change them.
Critical reading, writing and rewriting will
be central components of this program and
all students will participate in writing
workshops as well as lectures and seminars.
Credit awarded in history, sociology, political
science, the humanities and expository
writing,
Total: 32 credits
Program is preparatory for careers and future
study in law, public policy, teaching and
social service.

Celluloid Women and Men: Representations
of genders in Japanese and American Cinema
is a group contract designed for the students
interested in not only crosscultural exploration of gender issues but also cultivating
visual literacy .
It is often said that American and Japanese
cultures represent the mirror images of
human values. For instance, while American
culture emphasizes the importance of
individuals over groups, Japanese culture
dictates group cohesion; while Japanese
women are valued most as wives and
mothers, American housewives feel deprived
of personal dignity in their communities.
Certainly, the reality is not as simple as these
stereotypes indicate; nevertheless, this
dichotomized comparative cultural frame
presents an interesting context in which we
can explore many human issues, particularly
gender issues. Thus, in this program we
explore the gender images presented in
American and Japanese cinema.
At the beginning of the quarter the
students will be introduced to the rudiments
of film technology and basic concepts of film
theory through texts and lectures. With these
analytical tools at hand, then, students will
examine gender images produced in American
and Japanese films through seminars and
critical writings.
Credit awarded in gender studies, Japanese
culture, American culture, film technology,
film criticism, Japanese cinema and American
cinema.
Total: 16 credits
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in gender studies, cultural studies, film
studies and humanities.

Today people live in a world in which there is
no one accepted canon - no one list of
books it's necessary to read to be considered
an educated person. Lists of necessary books
are different according to the class, gender,
ethnicity and life goals of the people reading
them, and many people read downloaded
"hard copy" instead of books. To different
people, or to the same person at different
times, this situation may seem loaded with
freedom and promise or fraught with images
of chaos and dissolution. In the face of it,
what are we to do? How do we become
educated people?
This program takes the position that all
writings - whether drawn from a canon
once thought to be universal or heard as
brave voices from the margins - teach us
more the more we learn about their surrounding contexts: authors' lives, social history,
trends in other arts and information
technology. Perhaps it's not the books
themselves that sustain us, still less the
conferred status of having read them, but the
fact that they give us access to a wide range
of imagined worlds and constructed realities,
that they teach us to imagine and construct
our own. As part of this learning community,
you should expect to read a number of
classics of world literature and a number of
exciting contemporary works, in close
juxtaposition with material that will help you
see them in context. Examples would be
reading Cervantes' Don Quixote along with
an article analyzing the Inquisition's impact
on contemporary life, reading Shakespeare's
Macbeth along with Garry Wills' recent book
Witches and Jesuits, and reading Sandra
Cisneros' Woman Hollering Creek while
studying the meaning of the Virgin of
Guadalupe for Chicana women. There will
also be a great deal of writing, in response to
the readings, in analysis and critique of the
readings and in beginning to construct your
own imaginative world.
Credit awarded in literature, literary theory,
history, cultural studies and writing.
Total: 32 credits
Program is preparatory for careers and future
study in humanities, social science, teaching,
intercultural communication and law.

"It is only the story
that can continue beyond
the war and the warrior .
It is only the story .
that saves our progeny
from blundering like blind beggars
into the spikes of the cactus fence.
The story is our escort;
without it, weave blind.
Does the blind man own his escort?
No, neither do we the story;
rather it is the story
that owns us."
-

CHINUA

ACHEBE

From listening to the stories of others, we
learn to tell our own. Stories about travel,
work, sex, sports, money, marriage/divorce,
death and family - about the stuff that
happens all the time that we read about in the
newspapers - can reveal the structures and
strains of life and the way social facts press
on the body. The writer's details have to be
right; ideas grow from facts. A writer who
makes mistakes, who does not describe a
realistic and believable world, will lose the
most knowing readers.
A story unfolds in all kinds of directions.
That is part of growing up as a writer - to
deal with ever greater complexities. Creativity
and innovation grow in decisions made at
every level of the process - how to research,
how to tell the story, what voice to use, when
to digress and what to leave out.
The vitality of narrative nonfiction writing
- the sort of writing students will do in this
program - comes from combining personal
engagement with political theory, sociology
and anthropology, memoir writing, fiction,
history, travel writing and standard reporting.
Personal reaction is as powerful and true a
storyteller as the best ethnographic research.
The journey itself resonates in the writer's
life. Without some resonance, the research
would be useless and the writing would be
flat.

The point is to write as well as Walt
Whitman and to find ways to do that in
nonfiction prose, essays, letters, and reports.
"It's OK to try to write something beautiful
and to think of yourself as something more
than a carpenter with a box of tools. Instead
of making a table, you're making a beautiful
table. That's part of the growing into a
medium and listening," as Mark Singer says.
The narrative technique can be an empty
form if it lacks a solid intellectual content.
Voice and story are only tools. The ways in
which writers handle research strategy,
structure, form, voice, characterizations and
symbolic representations reflect their
creativity and honesty. Nonfiction writers
whose personal experience illuminates social
issues - Adrian Nicole LeBlanc on disenfranchised urban kids, John McPhee on
Atchafalaya, Mumia Abu Jamal on prison place themselves as participants or witnesses,
rather than as distanced onlookers. Their
approach is to cross borders, to fuse ideas
from many sources, to revivify our compartmentalized, virtual and wired experience and
to make us believe their story.
Tell me a story. Tell me a story. How do
we learn our notions of what a story is? What
makes a story a unified whole, something
complete and satisfying in itself? What
relationship do stories have to the world and
vice versa? Tell me a story. That is what it
still comes down to - storytelling and the
real world. Public and private, biography and
history meet on the page.
In this program, students will examine the
role of the storyteller/writer as social witness
through workshops, seminars, readings,
performances, travel, research, writing and
student originated projects.

No figure in the Western tradition has been
more powerful or more enigmatic as a symbol
of the teacher the philosopher or the cnnc
than Socrates~ The adjective "Socratic" has
come to describe a method of teaching, a style
of conversation, a mode of inquiry and a kind
of irony. Yet everything we know about
Socrates derives from what others have
written and thought about him. He left us no
written words of his own; yet he left an
imperishable mark on our thinking. More
than 2,000 years after his death~ we ~tlll
puzzle over the meaning of hISMe, his
mission and his ideas. The British scholar
W.K.C. Guthrie has concluded that "in spite
of the application of the most scientific
methods, in the end we must all have to some
extent our own Socrates, who will not be
precisely like anyone else's." Guthrie adds,
"The fact is that no one was left indifferent
by this altogether unusual character: ever~one
who has written about him was also reacting
to him in one way or another."
The purpose of this program will be to
encounter and react to "this altogether
unusual character," Socrates - through the
writings of the philosopher who created his
reputation, Plato, but also through the works
of contemporaries (Aristophanes and
Xenophon) as well as writers who never
knew him (e.g., Nietzsche, LF. Stone).
The work of the program will consist of
reading, writing and seminar discussion, and
will culminate in a final paper on Socrates.

What will be the shape of the world in
decades to come? Poised on the brink of a
new millennium, we are in a world where the
old forms do not hold. For the past 300
years, the nation-state has been the primary
focus for the organization of political,
economic and social loyalties. In the past 20
years the domination of the nation has been
challenged from above and below. On the
one hand the re-emergence of ethnic,
religious,'tribal patterns of social organization and loyalty, coupled With the breakup of
the hegemony of the Soviet Union, has reenergized forces below the nation-state. On
the other hand, the emergence of global
forces of the market, communications and the
environment supersede and minimize the role
of the state. These developments will
transform the world we live in, for better or
for worse, in ways we cannot completely
control.
This program intends to explore these.
developments by investigating the following
questions: How is the world changing? How
are people organized into SOCialstructures
and institutions? What forces have brought
about the particular configuration of today's
world? Finally, what tendencies are operatmg
to reinforce or reconfigure these patterns?

Each of us will be challenged as individuals
and as citizens by these developments. Each
of us will have to decide how we position
ourselves in relation to change. In a world
where we can assume neither a benign
utopian future nor unmitigated chaos, each of
us must ask what ethical and spiritual issues
are involved in living appropriately, morally
and deliberately. We will consult three ethical
theorists, Vaclav Havel, Gary Snyder and
Martha Nussbaum, as we explore how to be
what Snyder calls a "profound citizen," a
citizen not of a particular nation-state but of
a human community and ecosystem.
We will study social change in many
dimensions: global changes in economy,
environment and communications; patterns
of breakup in the Balkans and the former .
Soviet Union; changes in American urban life;
and the emergence of regionalism, localism
and ethnicity in the United States.
We will explore demanding texts, share
written work and engage in workshops,
lectures and seminars. In spring quarter we
will engage in community service to explore
the ideas of citizenship and engagement.
Credit awarded in modern history, anthropology, sociology, social theo~y, political science,

How can we describe complex biological,
ecological and physical systems? How can we
be sure those descriptions are accurate or even
useful?This program will attempt to answer
these questions. Participants in this program
will seek to understand the behavior of
complex systems by building simulation
modelsthat attempt to describe the behaviors
such systems exhibit. We will draw examples
from the environmental realm, focusing on
physical, biological and ecological systems,
their interpretation and the application of
those interpretations in public policy making.
Wewill adopt a whole-systems viewpoint
with which to study global interactions of
terrestrial, maritime and atmospheric
dynamics,while stressing the realities and
limitsof modeling natural systems. We will
explore various processes, including global
warming, the growth and decline of populationsof different species on the planet,
agricultural practices embedded in the Green
Revolution, renewable energy systems,
environmental health, biogeochemical cycles,
kinetics,contaminant transport, solute
diffusion,risk assessment and others. These
modelswill adopt differing perspectives,
rangingfrom the global vista to intimate
examination of the intricacies of the
organismallevel.

In this program we will develop mathematical, computer and applied science skills
for evaluating biological, physical and
environmental systems. The program will
emphasize critical thinking and communication, both oral and written. Students can
expect to collect and use data on current and
historical forest and fishery usage, agricultural practices, pollution and waste disposal
flows and public health issues. By developing
dynamic models of human impacts on
ecosystems and environmental impacts on
human health, we will investigate a spectrum
of policy options that might point toward
sustainable futures. The goal of this program
will be to evaluate the accuracy, effectiveness
and political ramifications of the models we
investigate. Activities will include field trips,
field work, seminar discussions, science
laboratories, computer labs, group projects
and interactive workshops. Students will
work collaboratively in small groups
throughout the program and will be expected
to develop substantive group-process skills.

Ireland has been the home of unique forms of
religious expression, a rich musical life,
several hundred years of colonialism and
some of the greatest literary minds of the past
200 years. This two-quarter program will
study Ireland through its expressive.culture
and historical events, from pre-Christian and
early Christian periods to the present. Poems,
songs, stories, films, dances, plays and aspects
of the Irish language all reveal Important
clues about many different kinds of Insh
interactions. Accordingly, program themes
center around the relationships between
nature-based spirituality and Christianity,
orality and literacy, men and women, . .
language and cultural identity and the Insh m
relation to others, whether the "others" are
the fairies, the English, Americans,.Europeans
or their own ancestors. Our interdisciplinary
work should allow for a variety of approaches, from the sociopolitical to the .
artistic. We will work to create a supportive
environment in which participants can
reclaim some of the essential dimensions of
being human.
.
.
The faculty envision a program in which
students grow comfortable with performing
publicly, learn the basics of the Irish
language, develop their skills in research and
critical analysis to explore important
theoretical issues verbally and in writing, and
participate fully in all activities..Each quarter
will include both a comprehensive wntmg
project and a collaborative performance. .
Faculty will assist students m learning poetry
and songs and participating in plays and
preparing for intensive discussions of our
work during our twice-weekly semmars.

This program focuses on East Central
Europe's vast and varied literature and
cultures and how they reflect the tumultuous
historical and political experience, with .
emphasis on the Czech Republic, Slovakia,
Poland and Hungary.
During fall term we explore the roots of
East Central Europe's cultures and countnes,
especially as they emerged in the 19th and
early 20th centuries, bolstered by E~hghtenment philosophy, the growth of nationalism
and the crumbling of the great European
empires. We will consider the role of the

Individuals, cultural groups and nations are
all shaped by and dependent on ecological
processes for their survival, prosperity and
happiness. In turn, human impacts on the
environment have reshaped the earth and
affect virtually all species. Political Ecology
aims to understand interactions between
humans and the rest of the environment.
During fall quarter, the program will focus
on the creation of the United States as a
player in political ecological events of North
America, from pre-colonial times to about
1920. We will be especially interested in how
the new American nation was shaped by and
shaped the natural resources of North
America. We will also examine how control
of natural resources related to the development of structures for the exercise of political
power. Students will begin a group research
project on how a specific group of people
interact with a specific natural resource.
During winter quarter, the program will
focus on the United States' role in world
affairs, from about 1920 to the present.
America's global development of natural
resources has been a powerful agent changing
the contemporary world. A conservation
philosophy that emerged during the early
1900s slowly changed to an environmental
philosophy by the late 1900s. Accompanying
this change was a debate about the exercise of
power, both within the U.S. and between the
United States and the rest of the world.
During the second quarter, students will
complete group research projects and
celebrate with a public presentation of their
findings.
Program activities will be of three sorts: a
seriesof theme lectures each quarter;
discipline-basedskill-development sessions
(e.g.,based on history, political science,
economics,biology, ecology, toxicology and
statistics);attend action-based skill-developmentsessions (e.g., based on library and field
research,speaking, community action, and
groupcollaboration).

Many Americans regard the political and civil
liberties .guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution
and its Amendments as the foundation of
American democracy. Yet these rights are
highly contested today. Freedom of speech is
confronted by those who advocate censoring
rock music lyrics and TV broadcasts. Schools
hassle over "creationism" in the classroom
and waffle between secularizing religious
holidays or celebrating the holidays of all
world religions. Search and seizure laws and
guarantees against self-incrimination are
under fire.
Furthermore, Americans may be denied the
ability to exercise their rights because of our
political institutions, economic practices and
our interpretation and implementation of
governmental policies. Campaign finance
laws can enable many or just the rich to run
for office. Election districting can prevent or
assure election of candidates of certain ethnic
backgrounds. The right of free speech may
mean little to the citizen facing the concentration of ownership of the media or to the artist
facing the concentration of wealth. And what
does freedom of religion mean if social
policies contradict one's beliefs and family
practices or if religious education is available
only to the well-to-do?
Many constitutional contests have arisen
from tensions inherent in a document that
protects both individuals and collective
entities and that provides for majority rule
while shielding the minority from the tyranny
of the majority. These contests continue to
define the boundaries between liberty and the
legitimate authority of government.

This program will examine the evolution of
rights in the U.S. We will study the emergence
of thinking about rights in Europe, the
writing of the U. S. Constitution and the
Amendments to that Constitution which
establish rights, and the controversies over
rights from the Founding Period to the
present. We will study some of today's
contests over specific rights and some U.S.
policies, like welfare, and their effects on the
exercise of rights. Through a study of microand macroeconomic principles students will
learn the principles and analyze how market
ideologies address, promote and deny rights.
We will study research and statistical
methods central to evaluating and implementing policies with regard to their influence on
people's rights and central to studying topics
generally in the social sciences.

Romanticism, Modernism and After offers a
study of rapid cultural change through art,
music and literature at the turn of three
centuries: 1800, 1900 and 2000.
The theoretical focus will be how the arts
(both artistic creativity and audience response)
reflect cultural change and how the experiences of creator and audience advance or
retard cultural change. To study cultural
change through the arts, particularly in the
19th and 20th centuries, is to study changes
in the life of feeling of those living through
that change. It is a premise of this curriculum
that feeling is as much a construct in our
experience as thinking. As Clifford Geertz put
it, "Not only ideas, but emotions too, are
cultural artifacts." This curriculum, therefore,
will study changes in the life of feeling in
relation to broader cultural change.
Our initial study of Romanticism, at the
turn of the 19th century, will be mainly
European-focused,
with some attention paid
to the United States. The turn of the 20th
century marked the emergence of Modernism,
which we will study using materials that are
still largely European and North American.
As we address our own time and the turn of
the 21st century, we will raise the question of
whether such regionalism still makes sense.
Perhaps we have entered an era of world
culture. We will examine whether we have
entered a period of Postmodernism.
Innovative, or avant garde, art will
necessarily take center stage in this study, and
we will seek examples freely, including
literature, music, 2-D and 3-D visual arts
film, media ... drawing on whatever serves
our inquiry. High art, counter-cultural art
and popular art will be relevant to our study.
This program emphasizes the skills
involved in critical and perceptive reading,
listening and seeing. Writing will be
emphasized throughout the year. Above all,
this curriculum aims at the intelligent
interpretation of cultural change through an
examination of the arts.
Credit awarded in history, art history,
philosophy, aesthetics (both music and fine
arts), literature, writing and cultural studies.

Nature writers like Annie Dillard and Barry
Lopez argue that to counter the modern
American penchant for mobility and rootlessness, it is important to investigate, understand
and work with responsibility for the place in
which one lives. You will be living in
Thurston County, in South Puget Sound, in
the Pacific Northwest for the next four years.
Developing a meaningful sense of place is
important for grounding one's life and one's
learning. This program will investigate and
practice ways modern humans are developing
a sense of place by coming to terms with
nature - nature writing, field natural history,
ecology and landscape drawing and painting.
Common to these practices is the work of
observing and describing one's observations
with great care. We will spend time outdoors
learning to see, learning to use identification
books to name what we are seeing, learning
natural history field techniques and fundamental ecological principles to understand the
interactions among flora and fauna we are
naming, learning careful natural history
journal techniques to describe what we are
seeing in writing and learning drawing and
painting techniques to describe what we are
seeing in visual, aesthetic terms.
We will simultaneously read works by and
about great American nature writers, natural
historians, ecologists and artists, learning
with them and from them the significance of
having a sense of place and the importance of
living one's responsibility toward place. We
will also read a great deal about environmental issues in the Pacific Northwest.
Our intention is to develop skills so you
will be able to undertake significant research
in our area of the Pacific Northwest by the
start of spring quarter. Accordingly, you
should expect our program to be rigorous,
disciplined, time-consuming (at least 30 hours
each week outside of classroom time
studying) and challenging, as well as fun.

Though the Hubble Telescope vastly increases
the information we have about the universe
amateurs with binoculars still find new
'
comets. Indeed, human beings have studied
the sky for thousands of years. Ancient
buildings, pecked symbols and other artifacts
bear witness to this interest in knowing the
sky and assigning meaning to the movement
of heavenly bodies. We will study the
astronomical and cultural significance of
historical sites such as those in the Southwestern United States and Meso America and the
history and significance of navigational and
surveying devices such as the chronometer
and sextant. Participants will be expected to
develop display projects that demonstrate a

In this program we will look at traditional
and modern ways of telling stories and
conveying images through fiction from
several cultures, through traditional forms
such as Kabuki and the classical arts of India
and through new media such as contemporary dance, music, film, video and electronic
imaging. We will examine the cultural
contexts in which the works are created and
viewed.
Students will spend fall quarter concentrating more on theory, aesthetics and techniques
(the latter in short-term skills workshops); in
the winter quarter they will create collaborative short works using music, movement,
dance, video, installations and other media.
Throughout both quarters we will examine
and discuss works of art and literature. In the
skill-building workshops of the program, the
emphasis will be on using the various media
as tools rather than on becoming a technical
professional.
The program will be 12 or 16 quarter
credit hours; students will have the option of
a workshop in the program or a course
outside it. Courses in an art form, a language
or further expository writing are appropriate
for those choosing that option.

Few writers, artists, or performers, if any,
have rivaled the Greek tragedians in their
ability to stir human emotion. What was
distinctive and new about Greek tragedy?
Why have these plays survived for so long?
Why do they still move us? In this program
we will undertake together an intensive study
of almost all of the extant Greek tragedies of
Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. We will
also read Homer, Aristotle's Poetics and some
secondary sources. We will read a large
number of tragedies and see what we make of
them, play by play, and as a new and
developing way of representing human
experience through the medium of theater.
The work of the program will consist of
reading, writing and seminar discussion, and
will culminate in a final paper on Greek
tragedy.

Americans faced a challenge in World War II
that seemed clear and direct - the nation
believed it was fighting the archetypal battle
between good and evil. Immediate post-war
revelations about the Holocaust reinforced
this belief and the essence of the conflict has
generally come down in contemporary times
as the last "good" war. Uncertainties and
insecurities spawned by the Cold War and
threats of thermonuclear annihilation made
many Americans yearn for the seeming
simplicity of the war and its apparently
logical dichotomy between right and wrong.
Consequently, World War II took on a
legendary status that mayor may not
correlate with the realities of what caused the
conflict; what happened during the conflagration; what the results were and what they
mean.
World War II had a deep impact on race,
class and gender in American society.
Nineteen million American women worked in
industry and volunteered for military service;
Blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans
helped swell the ranks of the armed services
beyond 10 million able bodies and demands
on scientific and industrial production
generated new products and processes that
profoundly affected people after the war. The
war had an equally profound influence on
art, literature, cinema, music, news production and dissemination, drama, entertainment, propaganda, education and poetry.
The World War II program will examine
the origins, impact, and affects of the conflict.
Students will work in small groups to prepare
quarterly symposium presentations on aspects
of our collective study and findings. We will
use media sources and documentaries to
supplement lectures, readings and symposia.
Students can expect to be challenged, to
conduct individual research projects and to
actively participate in their learning.

Charles McCann, the founding president of the college, spoke about teaching and learning at
Evergreen in the following way:

"This college has collected scholars who, insofar as they inquire
in their fields of interest, will by their presence here together
form a living link between our present society and the past,
a source of power with which to help us all meet the future.
Students will work as colleagues with faculty and others,
and together these people will TRY
(that word is emphasized because it involves all
of the college's people in continual change)
to create a place whose graduates can as adults be undogmatic citizens
and uncomplacently confident individuals in a changing world."
The faculty members in the Culture, Text and Language area share these views and offer
programs in which faculty and students alike engage in scholarly inquiry into our social world.
Programs in this area focus on questions related to knowledge and interpretations of the social
world. Those questions are explored with content and strategies from the humanities, integrating perspectives from the social sciences, practices in the arts and the natural and physical
sciences,
The faculty members in Culture, Text and Language invite students to join them in the
programs they offer and together create a "living link" between our present society and the
urgent questions before us and the past. This area is distinguished in that its members'
backgrounds and interests span the full breadth of the liberal arts, including humanities,
sciences, arts and social sciences. As such it offers intermediate and advanced interdisciplinary
programs relevant to all students at the college.
Culture, Text and Language offers programs in language and culture, area studies, cultural
studies, philosophy and psychology. In the language and culture offerings students have an
opportunity for intensive, challenging, interdisciplinary study. The study of language at
Evergreen is integrated fully with the study of culture. Because we believe that learning
languages is the key to understanding other cultures (and vice versa), we teach them together.
That is, we teach language through the study of history, literature, philosophy and art; and
culture through the study of language.
Spanish and/or Latin American cultural studies are offered each year. Programs of Japanese
and Russian studies occur on an alternating two-year cycle, as do programs centered on Frenchspeaking cultures of Europe, Africa and the Caribbean. Latin or Greek is also offered every two
years in the program The Classical World. Programs in Irish studies, German studies and
sociolinguistics are offered periodically.
The area also offers programs in cultural studies with emphases in anthropology, sociology
and psychology. The focus of these programs includes ethnography, popular culture, media
studies and cultural theory. In these programs current issues, events and practices offer foci for
exploring relevant historical and philosophical traditions.
The area regularly offers programs that inquire critically into European history and philosophical traditions. Programs are organized around rigorous study of key texts such as Plato's
Republic or Hannah Arendt's The Human Condition. Program emphases include philosophy,
history, political theory and literature.
Note: For students interested in part-time language studies, modules are offered, mostly in the
evening, in French, Japanese, Spanish and Russian at the first- and second-year levels. In
addition, summer programs are available for intensive language study. Evergreen also participates in several study-abroad programs that encourage language fluency. Please see the
International Studies and Opportunities to Study Abroad section on page 37.

Margaret Fuller, Nathaniel Hawthorne and
Mark Twain, among others. We will also
gain an overview of American social history.
Topics in literature, history and philosophy
include: writing as a vocation, origins of the
new nation and of modern America,
transcendentalism and pragmatism. A student
will be expected to write short papers in
preparation for seminars and to complete a
term paper on a well-defined topic.

During fall quarter we will explore several
theoretical issues related to, and preparatory
for, the study of bilingual education and
teaching. In order they are: first and second
language acquisition; the relationships of
language, culture and society; and a historical
introduction to bilingual education and the
politics of bilingualism. A three-hour
workshop each week will be devoted to the
study of second-language teaching, with
particular consideration of different theories
and methodologies.
During winter quarter, we will study the
historical, political and social connotations of
bilingualism in the United States and
language policy as it relates to the concept of
the nation-state. Students will be introduced
to bilingual education in elementary and high
schools, program design and assessment. We
will visit bilingual classrooms throughout the
state and conduct ethnographic observations
during field trips. We will continue with the
weekly workshops on teaching methodologies, emphasizing connections between theory
and practice. Some students will have the
opportunity to go out into the community
(elementary schools, high schools, etc.) to
acquire practical experience and apply some
of the theories discussed in class.
This program is aimed at upper-level
students and will require full-time dedication.
Requirements include two short response
papers and a comprehensive midterm exam
each quarter, plus a two-quarter research
project culminating in an oral presentation.
Note: During spring quarter, students from
the program who are interested in furthering
their practical knowledge and experience may
develop internships.

Celluloid Women and Men:
Representations of
Genders in Japanese and
American Cinema
Spring/Group Contract

Additional Course Allowed: No
Celluloid Women and Men: Representations
of genders in Japanese and American Cinema
is a group contract designed for the students
interested in not only crosscultural exploration of gender issues but also cultivating
visual literacy .
It is often said that American and Japanese
cultures represent the mirror images of
human values. For instance, while American
culture emphasizes the importance of
individuals over groups, Japanese culture
dictates group cohesion; while Japanese
women are valued most as wives and
mothers, American housewives feel deprived
of personal dignity in their communities.
Certainly, the reality is not as simple as these
stereotypes indicate; nevertheless, this
dichotomized comparative cultural frame
presents an interesting context in which we
can explore many human issues, particularly
gender issues. Thus, in this program we
explore the gender images presented in
American and Japanese cinema.
At the beginning of the quarter the
students will be introduced to the rudiments
of film technology and basic concepts of film
theory through texts and lectures. With these
analytical tools at hand, then, students will
examine gender images produced in American
and Japanese films through seminars and
critical writings.
Credit awarded in gender studies, Japanese
culture, American culture, film technology,
film criticism, Japanese cinema and American
cmema.
Total: 16 credits
Program is preparatory for careers and future
studies in gender studies, cultural studies, film
studies and humanities.

Credit awarded in bilingual education

From listening to the stories of others, we
learn to tell our own. Stories about travel,
work, sex, sports, money, marriage/divorce,
death and family - about the stuff that
happens all the time that we read about in the
newspapers - can reveal the structures and
strains of life and the way social facts press
on the body. The writer's details have to be
right; ideas grow from facts. A writer who
makes mistakes, who does not describe a
realistic and believable world, will lose the
most knowing readers.
A story unfolds in all kinds of directions.
That is part of growing up as a writer - to
deal with ever greater complexities. Creativity
and innovation grow in decisions made at
every level of the process - how to research,
how to tell the story, what voice to use, when
to digress and what to leave out.
The vitality of narrative nonfiction writing
- the sort of writing students will do in this
program - comes from combining personal
engagement with political theory, sociology
and anthropology, memoir writing, fiction,
history, travel writing and standard reporting.
Personal reaction is as powerful and true a
storyteller as the best ethnographic research.
The journey itself resonates in the writer's
life. Without some resonance, the research
would be useless and the writing would be
flat.

The point is to write as well as Walt
Whitman and to find ways to do that in
nonfiction prose, essays, letters, and reports.
"It's OK to try to write something beautiful
and to think of yourself as something more
than a carpenter with a box of tools. Instead
of making a table, you're making a beautiful
table. That's part of the growing into a
medium and listening," as Mark Singer says.
The narrative technique can be an empty
form if it lacks a solid intellectual content.
Voice and story are only tools. The ways in
which writers handle research strategy,
structure, form, voice, characterizations and
symbolic representations reflect their
creativity and honesty. Nonfiction writers
whose personal experience illuminates social
issues - Adrian Nicole LeBlanc on disenfranchised urban kids, John McPhee on
Atchafalaya, Mumia Abu Jamal on prison place themselves as participants or witnesses,
rather than as distanced onlookers. Their
approach is to cross borders, to fuse ideas
from many sources, to revivify our compartmentalized, virtual and wired experience and
to make us believe their story.
Tell me a story. Tell me a story. How do
we learn our notions of what a story is? What
makes a story a unified whole, something
complete and satisfying in itself? What
relationship do stories have to the world and
vice versa? Tell me a story. That is what it
still comes down to - storytelling and the
real world. Public and private, biography and
history meet on the page.
In this program, students will examine the
role of the storyteller/writer as social witness
through workshops, seminars, readings,
performances, travel, research, writing and
student-originated projects.
Credit awarded in writing, literature,
sociology, politics, community studies, social
work and media communications.
Total: 48 credits
Program is preparatory for careers and future

This program studies gambling in America.
Historically, Americans have been of two
minds about gamblers and gambling. They
condemned the participants as sinful,
wasteful and pathological and at the same
time emulated and idealized winners as risktakers, courageous and even macho. But in
the past quarter century legalized gambling
expanded into state after state and became
more respectable than ever, even becoming
family fun.
Through lectures, videos, texts, book
seminars and independent research projects
we will review the long history of the gambler
and gambling and pay particular attention to
how the explosion of legalized gambling in
the '90s altered contemporary society. We
will investigate how social, political and
economic forces turned the tide in favor of
legalized gambling. We will study the
.
statistical basis of gambling decision-making.
We will explore the private costs and benefits
of gambling and gamblers, the rise of tribal
casinos and the hidden social costs of
gambling. Finally, in a module, The Fiscal
Crisis of the State, we study the changing
pattern of spending and taxation policies in
the past quarter century to understand the
states' eagerness to authorize gambling and
their growing dependency on gambling
revenues.
Seminar readings include: Gambling, by
Current Controversies Series; People of
Chance: Gambling in American Society from
Jamestown to Las Vegas, by John Findlay;
Selling Hope: State Lotteries in America, by
Charles Clofelter and Philip Cook; The Luck
Business: The Devastating Consequences and
Broken Promises of America's Gambling
Explosion, by Robert Goodman; The
Psychology of Gambling, by Michael Walker;
The Gaming Industry: Introduction and
Perspectives, by the International Gaming
Institute; Raymond and Vincent Eade (eds.);
The Fiscal Crisis of the State; by James
O'Connor.

We will read the major writers of the English
Renaissance period: plays by Marlowe,
Shakespeare, Jonson, Webster; poetry by the
above and Spenser, Sidney, Donne, MIlton,
Herrick, Herbert; prose by Sidney, Bacon,
Burton, Walton; and as background, a history
of the period.
Students will participate in morning and
afternoon seminars on Mondays and
Thursdays. Each student will be responsible
for a weekly 10- to IS-minute presentation on
some aspect of the reading for the day, and
each, during the quarter, will concentrate in
depth on a major figure. Some aspect of that
concentrated study will be addressed in a 20page paper at quarter's end.

Images are among the most subtly nuanced
forms human beings create to descnbe their
experience and sense of things. This program
will combine focused study of Native
American culture, including an analysis of the
effects images and representations of that
culture have on indigenous people and the
general American consciousness, with project
work. In designing projects, students are
expected to create images and visions of use
to them to address realities that need addressing to benefit their communities. To design
these projects, students are asked to reflect
on: What do I need to do? How do I propose
to do it? What do I plan to learn? What
difference will my work make? All students
will answer the four questions and propose an
individual or group project by Monday of the
third week of each quarter.
Students will share common activities:
reading, viewing and discussing texts, films
and slides that represent images of indigenous
culture. This material will combine studies in
indigenous history, policy, literature, art
history and education, as well as dISCUSSIOn
of
human beingslrelationships in the natural
world. These studies are expected to raise
issues for students and provide context as
they formulate projects.

Individuals and groups will discuss projects
withfaculty and colleagues so people can
shareexpertise and help one another
maximizetheir learning. The program will
allowpeople from a variety of communities
tolearn about the culture and issues important
to indigenous people and to create intercultural understanding.
The program is designed for students
wishingto prepare for careers in Native
Americanpolicy, education and art, as well as
peopleinterested in Native American law, in

No figure in the Western tradition has been
more powerful or more enigmatic as a symbol
of the teacher, the philosopher or the critic
than Socrates. The adjective "Socratic" has
come to describe a method of teaching, a style
of conversation, a mode of inquiry and a kind
of irony. Yet everything we know about
Socrates derives from what others have
written and thought about him. He left us no
written words of his own; yet he left an
imperishable mark on our thinking. More
than 2,000 years after his death, we still
puzzle over the meaning of his life, his
mission and his ideas. The British scholar
W.K.C. Guthrie has concluded that "in spite
of the application of the most scientific
methods, in the end we must all have to some
extent our own Socrates, who will not be
precisely like anyone else's." Guthrie adds,
"The fact is that no one was left indifferent
by this altogether unusual character: everyone
who has written about him was also reacting
to him in one way or another."
The purpose of this program will be to
encounter and react to "this altogether
unusual character," Socrates-through the
writings of the philosopher who created his
reputation, Plato, but also through the works
of contemporaries (Aristophanes and
Xenophon) as well as writers who never
knew him (e.g., Nietzsche, I.F. Stone).
The work of the program will consist of
reading, writing and seminar discussion, and
will culminate in a final paper on Socrates.

In this upper-division group contract we will
work toward an understanding of the
writings of Franz Kafka, including his novel
trilogy and his shorter narratives. To this end,
we will draw primarily on literary criticism
and philosophy, and secondarily on cultural
history, architecture, psychology and the arts.
Our work will include the following: intrinsic
analysis of the texts (individually and as a
body) as a unique interconnected language
system; consideration of Franz Kafka, his
family and life; and exploration of Kafka's
particular time and place. The Prague of
Kafka's lifetime (1883-1924) was a crossroads of east and west and a center of the
Austro-Hungarian Empire, a nexus of arising
intellectual and artistic modernism, a
labyrinth of medieval architecture and
occultism.
What was Kafka's involvement in such
currents of his epoque as depth psychology
and aestheticism, realism and expressionism?
What was the influence of his work on artists
and writers after his death? Weekly supplementary readings will help us respond to
these questions.
Students in this program will participate
weekly in: 1) lectures by program faculty and
guests, 2) faculty-directed and smaller,
student-directed book seminars, and 3) small
group, student presentations on the life,
times, language and/or influences of Kafka.
Also, students will 4) complete writing
assignments.

Credit awarded in philosophy and classics.

We live on the brink of a new millennium, in
a world where the old forms do not hold.
What will be the shape of the world to come?
For 300 years, the nation-state has been the
focus of political, economic and social
loyalties. But in the past 20 years, the
primacy of the nation has been challenged.
The re-emergence of ethnic, religious, tribal
patterns of social organization and loyalty,
coupled with the breakup of the Soviet
Union, has re-energized forces below the
nation-state. From above, the global forces of
the market, communications and the
environment supersede and minimize the role
of the state.
This program intends to explore these
developments by investigating: How is the
world changing? How are people organized
into social structures and institutions? What
forces have brought about the configuration
of today's world? Finally, what tendencies
reinforce or reconfigure these patterns?
Each of us will be challenged by these
developments. In a world where we can
assume neither a benign utopian future nor
unmitigated chaos, we must ask what ethical
and spiritual issues are involved in living
appropriately, morally and deliberately. We
will consult three ethical theorists, Vaclav
Havel, Gary Snyder and Martha Nussbaum,
as we explore how to be what Snyder calls a
"profound citizen," a citizen not of a
particular nation-state but of a human
community and ecosystem.
We will study social change in many
dimensions: global changes in economy,
environment and communications; patterns
of breakup in the Balkans and the former
Soviet Union; changes in U.S. urban life; and
the emergence of regionalism, localism and
ethnicity in the United States. In spring
quarter we will engage in community service
to explore ideas of citizenship and engagement.

What does it mean to understand a poem, or
a picture, or what happened a hundred years
ago, or why somebody keeps acting in a
stupid way? Is it just a matter of your
opinion, or somebody else's guess? Do some
people really see and know a lot more than
other people about such things? These three
one-quarter programs involve ongoing
practice in trying to understand questions like
these better, as well as careful exploration of
different theories about what (if anything)
can be known about what someone else's
actions mean.
All three programs are intended to prepare
students for sophisticated advanced interdisciplinary work in both the humanities and the
interpretive social sciences (fields like
anthropology, history and some sorts of
psychology). Such disciplines all attempt to
understand individual human acts - slips of
the tongue and religious rituals, sonnets and
political choices, cartoons and painted church
ceilings. They therefore all involve the same
fundamental intellectual process - interpreting situations that have multiple sources of
meaning, including the intentions of the
actor, what some audience makes of those
actions and several other contexts as well.
We'll pay close attention to the methods and
tools of various disciplines, to ideas about the
functions and values of art and to analyzing
and critiquing philosophical arguments about
what's involved in claiming to understand
somebody else's actions. The programs are
designed to function as a coherent sequence,
but students are welcome to take one or more
of them. In each, students can choose to
undertake a significant independent project or
a separate course for four of their credits.

FALL- Poetry and Pictures (On Interpretation I): This program involves interpretation
in two senses. First, lots of practice in talking
and writing about the details of two kinds of
works - short poems and pictures. Second,
interpretation as performance, in the sense
that somebody playing a piece of music from
a score interprets it. (In our case, we will fool
around with various exercises about
exploring images and about reading texts out
loud, all together and individually.) We will
also work through some philosophical pieces,
mostly short, about why art matters (or
doesn't) and what it might mean to understand a work of art. Part of the program
(probably centering on work in art history)
will be open to other students as a course and
will probably meet in the late afternoon or
everung.

WINTER - Narrative Knowledge (On
Interpretation 11):This program focuses on
narration of all sorts - from fairy tales to
history books. We'll concentrate on who's
tellingthe story, how they tell it, who they
seemto tell it for and what happens to both
audience and narrator between the beginning
and the end. Material will include historical
writing, short fiction, ethnographies, myths,
newspaper articles and dreams. Particular
attention will be paid to historiography and
psychological modes of interpretation,
including varieties of psychoanalytic,
archetypal and feminist interpretation. Part of
the program (probably centering on work in
psychological and feminist theory) will be
open to other students as a course and will
probably meet in the late afternoon or
evenmg,

SPRING- Public Acts (On Interpretation
ill): We have two ways of referring to plays
in our language - as theater, which
originally meant a place for people to see
something, and as drama, which originally
meant a particular kind of action or struggle.
In this quarter we will work on interpreting a
range of actions in public, before assembled
groups - political speeches, architecture,
plays of all sorts, religious rituals, how people
behave in groups, television, film and all sorts
of mass media. We'll pay special attention to
interpretation that focuses on the historical
and social contexts of actions, including
Marxist analysis, the new historicism and
various kinds of media criticism. Part of the
program (probably centering on work in film
history) will be open to other students as a
course and will probably meet in the late
afternoon or evening.
Credit awarded in: (fall) literature, art
history, philosophy; (winter) literature,
psychology, history, anthropology; (spring)
literature, media and social science.
Total: 36-48 credits
Program is preparatory for further study in
humanities, social sciences, and careers
involving interpretation, like law and
counseling.

In his famous parable of the Cave, Plato
implied that the aim of education is to lead
people out of a "cave." What is this cave? Is
it possible to escape it? Is it possible to lead
others out of it? This program will provide an
intensive study of the educational philosophies of Socrates (Early Dialogues of Plato),
Plato (The Republic), Rousseau (Emile) and
John Dewey (Democracy and Education)the four most important educational thinkers
in the Western tradition.
The work of the All Level program will
consist of reading, writing and seminar
discussion, and will include a comprehensive,
integrative, week-long, take-home exam.
Credit awarded in philosophy of education.

Ireland has been the home of unique forms of
religious expression, a rich musical life,
several hundred years of colonialism and
some of the greatest literary minds of the past
200 years. This two-quarter program will
study Ireland through its expressive culture
and historical events, from pre-Christian and
early Christian periods to the present. Poems,
songs, stories, films, dances, plays and aspects
of the Irish language all reveal important
clues about many different kinds of Irish
interactions. Accordingly, program themes
center around the relationships between
nature-based spirituality and Christianity,
orality and literacy, men and women,
language and cultural identity and the Irish in
relation to others, whether the "others" are
the fairies, the English, Americans, Europeans
or their own ancestors. Our interdisciplinary
work should allow for a variety of approaches, from the sociopolitical to the
artistic. We will work to create a supportive
environment in which participants can
reclaim some of the essential dimensions of
being human.
The faculty envision a program in which
students grow comfortable with performing
publicly, learn the basics of the Irish
language, develop their skills in research and
critical analysis to explore important
theoretical issues verbally and in writing, and
participate fully in all activities. Each quarter
will include both a comprehensive writing
project and a collaborative performance.
Faculty will assist students in learning poetry
and songs and participating in plays and
preparing for intensive discussions of our
work during our twice-weekly seminars.
Potential texts for the program include
Joyce's Dubliners, Condren's The Serpent and
the Goddess, The ts« and poems by W. B.
Yeats, Seamus Heaney and others. Each of
the three faculty will continue teaching
related programs in spring quarter, focusing
, on Celtic music, the works of James Joyce
and the possibility of further study in Ireland.
Credit awarded in Celtic studies, literature,
ethnomusicology, history and Irish language.
Total: 32 credits
Program is preparatory for careers and future
study in Celtic studies, literature and
ethnomusicology.

This program will examine the nature,
significance and limits of science. It is suitable
for students interested in the sciences or the
humanities. The program will begin with a
critique of standard philosophy of science
(the notion of scientific method, induction,
falsification) and will move on to the
revolution spearheaded by Kuhn and
Feyerabend. An analysis of the problems
created by this revolution will lead to a
consideration of alternative approaches to the
understanding of science (e.g., evolutionary
epistemology). We will pay particular
attention to new attempts to solve the
problems of realism and of the rationality of
science. We will also examine interesting
philosophical aspects of physics, biology and
other sciences. Once we have a better grasp of
Issues concerning scientific knowledge, we
will begin to consider the relationship
between science and morality, society, art and
culture.
The material will be presented and
discussed in lectures, seminars, small group
discussions, editing groups, research groups
and research presentations, as well as in a
series of essays required from the students.
Credit awarded in philosophy of science",

spring quarter
This program will look at contemporary
cultural, political and economic developments
in Latin America. In particular it will examine
the role of popular and alternative modes of
communication as forms of expression
created to challenge and resist authoritarian
governments and repressive social conditions
from the early 1960s to the present. The
program will pay particular attention to the
history, politics and culture of Chile during
the period of resistance to Pinochet's regime
and today. It will raise questions about the
model of economic and cultural development
currently being followed in a number of Latin
American nations, including Chile.
Our winter quarter studies will prepare
students for travel to Chile in the spring
quarter. Spring quarter studies are designed
to deepen understanding of the ways in which
Chile's model of development impacts
communities at different economic levels and
in different areas of the country, and to offer
students an opportunity to participate in
researching and producing a series of video
documentaries with those communities.
Students will be offered training in participatory research techniques and documentary
video production, as well as the history and
culture of Chile and Latin America.

Popular and Alternative Communication in
Latin America has three general objectives.
First it provides participants with an
interdisciplinary curriculum that will allow
the III to study, research and experience
firsthand a wide range of issues and concerns
affecting Chile and South America at the end
of the 20th century. Secondly, the program
provides practical opportunities for intensive
language study. Students will attend regular
classes geared to their skill level with the goal
of developing or deepening their knowledge
of Spanish. Third, the travel component of
the program immerses participants in the
cultural, socio-political and economic reality
of a country struggling to overcome its
condition of underdevelopment. Students will
have the opportunity to participate in
workshops, conferences and discussions with
political and community leaders and
grassroots organizations and to study the
social, artistic, folkloric and intellectual life of
the country.
In spring, Popular Alternative Communication in Latin America will focus on the
production of a series of video documentaries
on Chilean life. The subjects of the documentaries will include poverty, popular culture,
the status of women, artistic expression,
environmental concerns of the people and the
particular struggles and issues facing different
sectors of the population under Chile's
current neoliberal model of economic
development. The video productions will
involve research, observation and close
collaboration with communities and groups.
Credit awarded in film and television
documentary production, Latin American
studies, cultural studies, mass media, social
communication, sociology.
Total: 32 credits
Program is preparatory for careers and future
study in film/video, communication, Latin
American studies, journalism, social science
(sociology, anthropology, demography,

Romanti cism,

Romanticism, Modernism and After offers a
study of rapid cultural change through art,
music and literature at the turn of three
centuries: 1800, 1900 and 2000.
The theoretical focus will be on how the
arts (both creativity and audience response)
reflect cultural change and how the experience of both creator and audience advance or
retard cultural change. Particularly in the
19th and 20th centuries, to study cultural
change through the arts is to study changes in
the life of feeling of those living through that
change. It is a premise of this curriculum that
feeling is as much a construct in our
experience as thinking. As Clifford Geertz has
put it, "Not only ideas, but emotions too, are
cultural artifacts." This curriculum, therefore,
will study changes in the life of feeling in
relation to broader cultural change.
Our initial study of Romanticism, at the
turn of the 19th century, will be mainly
European-focused, with some attention paid
to the United States. The turn of the 20th
century, and the emergence of Modernism,
will also be studied using largely European
and North American materials. As we address
our own time, however, and the turn of the
21st century, we will question whether such
regionalism still makes sense. Perhaps we
have entered an era of world culture. We will
examine with care whether we have entered a
period of Postmodernism.
Innovative, or avant garde, art will
necessarily take center stage in this study, and
we will seek examples freely, including
literature, music, 2D and 3D visual arts, film,
media ... drawing on whatever serves our
inquiry. High art, countercultural art and
popular art all will be relevant to our study.
This program emphasizes the skills
involved in critical and perceptive reading,
listening and seeing. Writing will be
emphasized throughout the year. Above all,
this curriculum aims at the intelligent
interpretation of cultural change through an
examination of the arts.
Credit awarded in history, art history,
philosophy, aesthetics (both music and fine
arts), literature, writing and cultural studies.
Total: 48 credits
Program is preparatory for careers and future
study in the humanities and arts.

Sacred Monsters:
Insiders and Outsiders in
French-Speaking Cultures
Fall, Winter, Spring/Coordinated Study
Faculty: Marianne Bailey, TBA
Enrollment: 50
Prerequisites: Sophomore standing
Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: Optional travel to France
(approximately $3,400)
Part-Time Options: French language study
for 8 credits fall and winter quarters
Internship Possibilities: No
Additional Course Allowed: Yes
Travel Component: Optional trip to France
We plan an intensive study of the literature,
history, arts, religion, philosophy and
language of France and French-speaking
cultures of Africa and the Caribbean.
Inside/Outside will serve as our structuring
metaphor for examining, in context, selected
works from the medieval period through the
20th century. The dialogue between Insider
and Outsider is a motive force in culture;
each culture seems to hold its Outsiders in
mingled awe and horror. Between a medieval
city and the troubadours, madmen and saints
wandering the roads; between the doubter
Pascal and his Church; between decadent
artists and a positivist 19th century; between
France and her (former) colonies, exist
troubled dialogues.
We will study Montaigne, Villon and
Voltaire, who contest the reigning structures
of God and King, and negritude poets,
surrealist painters, romantics and feministphilosophers, who contest reason's primacy
and its language.
Medieval to Modernist: Fall quarter's work
will range from the 12th century writings of
Marie de France through the first flashes of
modernism in Rimbaud, Cezanne and Jarry.
Dada and Deconstruction: Winter quarter's
work will move from primitivism in visual
arts, Dadaist spectacles, through such theorists of dismantling as Derrida and Bataille.
This program integrates study of culture
and language. At least half of the instruction
will be in French. Language study will be
offered at beginning, intermediate and
advanced levels; seminars and their reading
lists and discussions will be in English.
During spring quarter, students may elect
to travel to France for study and family stays
in Brittany, Paris and Lyon. In spring, only
four-quarter-hour enrollment in French
language classes is possible on campus.

The history of Latin America can be viewed as
a struggle for self-determination, from its
conquest to its present-day efforts to achieve
equal economic footing. Latin American
countries' local experiences, however, may
differ dramatically. Our study of Puerto Rico,
Ecuador and Chile will illuminate the region's
cultural diversity while highlighting connections between personal and national politics.
This program will focus on the historical
and contemporary realities of the countries
using frameworks from the humanities and
social sciences. Students will learn to interpret
literary texts in their social contexts and use
political economic models to understand Latin
American societies. Because culture and
language are inseparable, Spanish language
study will be an integral part of the program.
The first two weeks we will review the
three countries' history, geography, economy,
natural environment and literary and social
movements. This will provide a common
context for exploring self-determination as
manifested in relationships of class, gender
and ethnicity at the individual, national and
international levels. During the fall and
winter, we will study specific struggles for
self-determination that have emerged in these
countries, such as Chilean women's resistance
in the Pinochet period, Puerto Rico's quest to
reconcile U.S. citizenship with its autonomous
Caribbean identity and Ecuador's efforts to
preserve the natural environment in the face
of pressures from multinational businesses.
During spring quarter, students may study
on campus or in Ecuador. Both options will
emphasize Spanish language acquisition and
experiential learning about Latin American
cultures, whether in Ecuador or through parttime internships in local Latino communities.
Credit awarded in Latin American history and
literature, international economics, political
economy and Spanish language.

Social psychology is an interdisciplinary space
connecting psychology and sociology. This
group contract has two concerns: (1) We will
study the social construction of social
psychology through an historical tracing of
the significant assumptions, theories and
research that inform the evolution of social
psychology as an academic discipline; (2) We
will apply this theoretical foundation to the
practice of everyday life in the U.S.A. culture.
We will focus on social relationships by
examining simple conversation (talkinglistening), small group behavior and collective
social movements. The approach is interdisciplinary and multicultural.

Though the Hubble Telescope vastly increases
the information we have about the universe,
amateurs with binoculars still find new
comets. Indeed, human beings have studied
the sky for thousands of years. Ancient
buildings, pecked symbols and other artifacts
bear witness to this interest in knowing the
sky and assigning meaning to the movement
of heavenly bodies. We will study the
astronomical and cultural significance of
historical sites such as those in the Southwestern United States and Meso America and the
history and significance of navigational and
surveying devices such as the chronometer
and sextant. Participants will be expected to
develop display projects that demonstrate a
deep understanding of one culture's
relationship to and symbolic representation of
the sky.

This 40-year period was a time of great
growth and change for us as a people, as we
became undisputed world leaders, embarked
on a period of unprecedented technological
and financial expansion, challenged our own
values and assumptions, explored many kinds
of freedom (including sexual), publicly
attacked and privately shored up our basic
racism, became divided as never before over a
war that nevertheless made us even richer and
more technologically dependent, had a
president resign under threat of impeachment,
made queens and kings of our entertainers
and sports stars, broadened our awareness of
what being an American must be on the basis
of minority status, gender or sexual orientation, moved in six short years from the largest
creditor nation in the world to the largest
debtor nation, enshrined greed and selfservice as personal and therefore national
goals, formed picket lines in front of abortion
clinics, made the term liberal a political
liability and swung the political pendulum so
far to the right that comparisons with the
1880s seem almost too obvious.
During all this time there was another
event going on that Americans did not vote
on at the ballot box, but did make choices
about, that powerfully affects us as Americans; this was a vast outpouring of creative
statements about what our world was really
like behind all those too public issues, about
what we feel and know as humans. This huge
creative output of publicly available texts is
our reason for studying this period, for a
culture is as surely shaped by the things it
chooses to tell itself and to read about itself
as it is shaped by public political acts.
It would, of course, be absurd to suggest
that we could (in one short academic year of
30 weeks) even make a gesture toward
coverage of this vast, incredibly rich body of
texts; what we will do is look with care and
intensity at some clusters of texts centered
around common themes, certain issues,
similar artistic forms, like shapes of expression, relative lifestyles or cultural backgrounds, comparative gender perceptions, etc.
What follows are some of the writers we will
consult clustered by very vague categories of
form.

Poetry: Elizabeth Bishop, Allen Ginsberg,
Robert Lowell, Marianne Moore and selected
contemporary poets.

person; (2) these unexpurgated texts will
include expressions on the total scale of
language from the prudish to the explicit to
the charming to the ugly to the seductive to
the offensive. If you are more likely to be
offended than excited by others' views of
their world and their choices of expression don't enroll.
A program covenant will be discussed and
signed the first day of class. Activities include:
student only study seminars, full group
seminar, lecture, drama readings, class
presentations, research project (spring
quarter).
Regular writing assignments will end each
quarter with a take home exam/essay; in

Additional Course Allowed: No
This group contract studies the family and the
environment within which it evolved in postwar America, The family changed more
rapidly since 1950 than during any equivalent
period since the founding of the colonies, The
country witnessed a dramatic increase in
divorce rate, participation rate of married
women in the labor force, rate of illegitimate
births to teenagers, number of foster children
and percentage of families headed by women,
plus a decline in children raised both by
father and mother. Since the early 1970s
there has been growing economic inequality
among families. The lower 50 percent of
working Americans on the income scale
experienced decline in the average real
income, In absolute terms and relative to
whites, real wages fell for African Americans,
Through lectures, films/videos, texts,
workshops and independent research, we will
seek to identify and examine causes and
consequences of these changes, We will
investigate social, political and economic
forces that have altered the function and
meaning of family, We will attempt to
determine whether the changes represent
family fragmentation and declining child
well-being or merely diversification, We will
pay attention to the shifting roles of gender,
the rise of the global economy, the shift from
a nation of factory workers to knowledge
workers, the development of a culture of
dependency and victimology, the rise of
conservatism, the growth in economic anxiety
and the widespread disaffection with national
welfare policies, Finally, we will look at
public policy initiatives that propose to
improve conditions for the American family
in the next century,
Seminar readings cover a range of
perspectives, including works by Stephanie
Coontz, Sara McLanahan and Gary Sandefur,
Susan Sheehan, Kriisti Luker, Robert
Samuelson, Richard Neely and Robert Frank
and Philip Cook.

Few writers, artists, or performers, if any,
have rivaled the Greek tragedians in their
ability to stir human emotion.
What was distinctive and new about Greek
tragedy? Why have these plays survived for so
long? Why do they still move us? In this
program we will undertake together an
intensive study of almost all of the extant
Greek tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles and
Euripides. We will also read Homer,
Aristotle's Poetics and some secondary
sources. We will read a large number of
tragedies and see what we make of them, play
by play and as a new and developing way of
representing human experience through the
medium of theater.
The work of the program will consist of
reading, writing and seminar discussion, and
will culminate in a final paper on Greek
tragedy,

Western psychology has so far failed to
provide a satisfactory understanding of the
full range of human experience, It has largely
overlooked the core of human understanding
- our everyday mind, our immediate awareness of being, with all of its felt complexity
and sensitive attunement to the vast network
of interconnectedness with the universe
around us, Instead it analyzes the mind as
though it were an object independent of the
analyzer, consisting of hypothetical structures
and mechanisms that cannot be directly
experienced, Western psychology's neglect of
the living mind has led to a tremendous
upsurge of interest in the ancient wisdom of
the East, particularly Buddhism, which does
not divorce the study of psychology from the
concern with wisdom and human liberation.
Eastern psychology shuns any impersonal
attempt to objectify human life from the
viewpoint of an external observer. Instead it
studies consciousness as a living reality that
shapes individual and collective perception
and action. The primary tool for exploring the
mind is meditation or mindfulness, an
experiential process in which one becomes an
attentive participant-observer in the unfolding
of moment-to-moment consciousness.

We will take a critical look at the basic
assumptions and tenets of the major currents
in Western psychology, the concept of mental
illnessand the distinctions drawn between
normal and abnormal thought and behavior.
We will then investigate the Eastern study of
mind that has developed within spiritual
traditions, particularly within the Buddhist
tradition. We will take special care to avoid
the common pitfall of most Western interpretations of Eastern thought - the attempt
to fit Eastern ideas and practices into
unexamined Western assumptions. Lastly, we
will address the encounter between Eastern
and Western psychology as possibly having
important ramifications for the human
sciencesin the future.
Credit awarded in personality theory,
abnormal psychology, Buddhism and Asian
psychology.
Total: 32 credits
Program is preparatory for careers and future
study in psychology, counseling, social work,
religious, cultural studies and Asian studies.

Many are celebrating the so-called communications revolution in which Americans have
been sometimes unwitting participants for the
past 40 years. In the midst of those celebrations of a global village, instant access and
500 channels of video enjoyment, it is
important to ask some fundamental
questions. For instance, what difference does
it make when many of the images we see, the
stories we enjoy and the sounds we hear come
not from the people around us but from
sources behind a screen or a stereo speaker,
from people and institutions divorced from
our day-to-day lives? What difference does it
make when those images, stories and sounds
are shaped not by natural communication
processes in a face-to-face community but by
the instruments of the communications
revolution: television, the computer,
synthesized sound? What difference does it
make when these sources make images,
stories and sounds not necessarily to express
the human condition but to make money or
to garner political power? This program will
address these questions as it examines the
worldwide communications revolution
underway since television became widespread
in the late fifties. The program will provide
skill training in basic reporting, as well as
making visual images to help students
appreciate how media technologies shape
communications. There will be workshops on
the Internet, as well as opportunities to
explore it. We will also examine organizations that provide mass communications to
understand the impact of economics and
politics on the production of mass communicated images, stories and sounds. In spring
quarter students will do internships in mass
communications to experience concretely the
processes and situations they have been
studying.

The American people faced a challenge in
World War II that seemed clear and directthe nation believed it was fighting the
archetypal battle between good and evil.
Immediate post-war revelations about the
Holocaust reinforced this belief and the
essence of the conflict has generally come
down to contemporary times as the last
"good" war. The uncertainties and insecurities spawned by the Cold War and threats of
thermonuclear annihilation made many
Americans yearn for the seeming simplicity of
the war and its apparently logical dichotomy
between right and wrong. Consequently,
World War II took on a legendary status that
mayor may not correlate with the realities of
what really caused the conflict; what really
happened during the conflagration; what the
real results were and what they mean.
World War II had a deep impact on race,
class and gender in American society.
Nineteen million American women worked in
industry and volunteered for military service;
Blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans
helped swell the ranks of the armed services
beyond 10 million able bodies and demands
upon scientific and industrial production
generated new products and processes that
would have a profound affect on people after
the war. The war had an equally profound
influence on art, literature, cinema, music,
news production and dissemination, drama,
entertainment and the creation of propaganda, education and poetry.
The World War II program will examine
the origins, impact, and affects of the conflict.
Students will work in small groups to prepare
quarterly symposium presentations on aspects
of our collective study and findings. We will
make full use of media sources and documentaries to reinforce and supplement lectures,
readings and symposia. Students can expect
to be challenged, to be required to carry out
individual research projects and to actively
participate in their learning.
Credit awarded in the relevant areas of
American studies, cultural studies, history,
literature, popular culture, political philosophy and writing.
Total: 48 credits
Program is preparatory for careers and future

PLANNING GROUP COORDINATOR:
MICHAEL W. BEUG

Environmental Studies at Evergreen offers broadly interdisciplinary academic studies within and
across three distinctive thematic areas. In any year, each of the three thematic areas will explore
some of the specific topics listed in each category.

AFFILIATED

(I) Human Communities and the Environment-addresses environmental policy, ethics and
human relations with, and ways of thinking about, the natural world. Includes community
studies, ecological agriculture, political economy, geography, environmental economics,
environmental health, history and planning.

(II) Natural History-focuses on observation, identification, and interpretation of flora and
fauna using scientific field methods as a primary approach to learning how the natural world
works. Includes ecology, ornithology, mamma logy, herpetology, entomology, botany and
mycology, with exploration of issues in biodiversity.
(ill) Environmental Sciences-deal primarily with the study of the underlying mechanisms and
structures of natural systems, both living and non-living. Environmental sciences often involve
significant laboratory and field work. Include chemistry, biology, geology, hydrology, oceanography, climatology, physiological ecology, evolutionary biology, forest ecology, biogeochemistry, marine biology and oceanography.
Each of these three thematic areas will be consistently available in the curriculum. Students
wishing to focus on a particular theme will find program offerings with substantial thematic
content available every year. These three themes, however, are not mutually exclusive, but
overlap significantly. Programs will be interdisciplinary between themes, as well as within a
particular theme. Students should also consider offerings in political economy, physical science
and mathematics, including but not limited to Political Economy and Social Change, Introduction to Natural Science, Matter and Motion and Molecule to Organism.
Students in Environmental Studies may elect either a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or a Bachelor of
Science (BS)degree (see page 34).
Please note that if you intend to pursue graduate studies in Environmental Studies or Science,
a minimum of one full year of undergraduate study in biology, chemistry, and statistics is
strongly recommended. These subjects may also be prerequisites to some of the upper-division
science programs in all three of the themes.
To aid you in making your program choices, the program descriptions in the following pages
list the significant content and credits in each of the three thematic areas within Environmental
Studies. Additionally, all Environmental Studies faculty, in their role as advisors, are wellequipped to help you determine appropriate routes through the curriculum. The faculty,
particularly the Environmental Studies Coordinator, will also be aware of changes and additions
to the catalog which occur because of the two-year lag between the creation of the catalog and
the actual offerings.

For more than a century, scientists have
contended that the rising level of carbon
dioxide is responsible for a steady increase in
global atmospheric temperature. Only in
recent times has this change been taken
seriously as a major environmental threat.
International conferences on issues that
impact changes in climate have revealed,
among other problems, a major conflict
between industrial nations, which are
responsible for most of the increase, and the
developing and low-lying island nations most
immediately threatened by changes in
climate. Through seminars, lectures and
workshops, students in this program will
study the nature of climate and climate
change, and the potential consequences of
human practices that affect this natural
process.

The class will focus on two subjects: the use
and understanding of spatial data, particularly map information; and the fundamentals
of geographical information systems (GIS).
GISprovides the ability to combine spatial
(map) information with databases and
modeling. This powerful tool has exceptionally broad analysis capabilities but requires
understanding of spatial data first. To
facilitate understanding of maps, the class
will use Cartography, Thematic Map Design
4th by B. D. Dent. This text covers thematic
map interpretation and design, especially the
latter. For the GIS component, the class will
use Geographic Information Systems, an
Introduction, J. Star and J. Estes for the
fundamentals of spatial data manipulation
and display. For actual GIS analysis we will
use IDRISI for Windows software based on
the !DRISI for Windows Student Manual by
J. R Eastman. In addition, the class will work
on an introductory GIS analysis project. This
class will require many hours of work outside·
of the formal class schedule, especially
computer time.
Credit awarded in GIS and related topics.
Credit in upper-division science may be
awarded.
Total: 8 credits
Program is preparatory for additional work
in GIS and related fields.

We live on the brink of a new millennium, in
a world where the old forms do not hold.
What will be the shape of the world to come?
For 300 years, the nation-state has been the
focus of political, economic and social
loyalties. But in the past 20 years, the primacy
of the nation has been challenged. The reemergence of ethnic, religious, tribal patterns
of social organization and loyalty, coupled
with the breakup of the Soviet Union, has reenergized forces below the nation-state. From
above, the global forces of the market, communications and the environment supersede
and minimize the role of the state.
This program intends to explore these
developments by investigating: How is the
world changing? How are people organized
into social structures and institutions? What
forces have brought about the configuration
of today's world? Finally, what tendencies
reinforce or reconfigure these patterns?
Each of us will be challenged by these
developments. In a world where we can
assume neither a benign utopian future nor
unmitigated chaos, we must ask what ethical
and spiritual issues are involved in living
appropriately, morally and deliberately. We
will consult three ethical theorists, Vaclav
Havel, Gary Snyder and Martha Nussbaum,
as we explore how to be what Snyder calls a
"profound citizen," a citizen not of a
particular nation-state but of a human
community and ecosystem.
We will study social change in many
dimensions: global changes in economy,
environment and communications; patterns of
breakup in the Balkans and the former Soviet
Union; changes in U.S. urban life; and the
emergence of regionalism, localism and ethnicity in the United States. In spring quarter
we will engage in community service to
explore ideas of citizenship and engagement.
Credit awarded in modern history, anthropology, sociology, social theory, political science,
economics, geography, ethics.
Total: 48 credits
Preparatory for work and graduate study in
environmental studies, politics, law,
education, history, social work and life.

Natural Resource Policy is an upper-division
group contract that examines the history of
natural resource issues in the United States to
provide a context for understanding current
attitudes toward natural resources and Native
American communities and to understand
current policy and decision making.
Fall quarter will begin by looking at how
the displacement of Native Americans and the
exploitation of natural resources shaped the
nation and many of our cultural attitudes. We
will explore the origins of the conservation
and preservation movements, then go on to
explore the history of how logging, fishing,
mining, western water policy and hydropower
shaped the communities and people of the
Pacific Northwest.

The history of Latin America can be viewed
as a struggle for self-determination, from its
conquest to its present-day efforts to achieve
equal economic footing. Latin American
countries' local experiences, however, may
differ dramatically. Our study of Puerto Rico,
Ecuador and Chile will illuminate the region's
cultural diversity while highlighting connections between personal and national politics.
This program will focus on the historical
and contemporary realities of the countries
using frameworks from the humanities and
social sciences. Students will learn to interpret
literary texts in their social contexts and use
political economic models to understand
Latin American societies. Because culture and
language are inseparable, Spanish language
study will be an integral part of the program.
The first two weeks will review the three
countries' history, geography, economy,
natural environment and literary and social
movements. This will provide a common
context for exploring self-determination as
manifested in relationships of class, gender
and ethnicity at the individual, national and
international levels. During the fall and
winter, we will study specific struggles for
self-determination that have emerged in these
countries, such as Chilean women's resistance
in the Pinochet period, Puerto Rico's quest to
reconcile U.S. citizenship with its autonomous
Caribbean identity and Ecuador's efforts to
preserve the natural environment in the face
of pressures from multinational businesses.
During spring quarter, students may study
on campus or in Ecuador. Both options will
emphasize Spanish language acquisition and
experiential learning about Latin American
cultures, whether in Ecuador or through parttime internships in local Latino communities.
Credit awarded in Latin American history
and literature, international economics,
political economy and Spanish language.
Total: 48 credits
Program is preparatory for careers and future
study in literature, Latin American Studies,
international relations, and economics.

Temperate rainforests are a poorly understood and highly valued ecosystem in the
Pacific Northwest and other parts of the
world. They support a complex and
interconnected web of life that encompasses a
tremendous diversity of biota, including
humans. In Temperate Rainforests, we will
learn about ways of understanding these
ecosystems using a variety of contemporary
information-gathering tools and approaches.
Our primary focus will be on understanding
the ecology of temperate rainforests, with a
concentration on the rainforests of the
Olympic Peninsula. We will also gather and
interpret information concerning the social
and cultural aspects of temperate rainforests,
particularly the use of forest products and
public policies behind decisions that affect
temperate rainforest management and
sustainability. We will also examine how
temperate rainforests have been understood
through art, particularly of the native cultures
of the forest. Students will be responsible for
undertaking an independent study project
that will contribute to a variety of databases
and information nodes about temperate
rainforests that will continue beyond the life
of this program and which may lead to
publications or other synthetic projects. The
program will go on an extended field trip to
the Olympics to study biological, social and
cultural aspects of temperate rainforests.

Land/ocean margins are dynamic environments characterized by unique biota and
elevated biological productivity. This
program will examine the physical forces
(tides, waves, earthquakes) acting on coasts
and how these forces determine their material
composition and morphology. Both highenergy and low-energy systems will be
examined. We will also study how coastal
organisms have adapted to the stresses
associated with wave action, periodic
exposure to air and changing salinity. The
ecology of areas affected by tides will be
examined (sub-tidal, inter-tidal, supra-tidal)
including rocky and soft bottom substrates.
In addition, the impact of human activities on
the coastal environment will be studied. The
material will be covered though lectures, lab/

Internship Possibilities: Yes
Additional Course Allowed: Yes
This community-determined program seeks
students who work/live on a reservation and
are tribal members or Indian.
The program emphasizes community
building within Native American communities where the classes are held. The curriculum is a direct result of students and tribal
officials determining what an educated
member of an Indian nation who wants to
contribute to the community needs to know.
The interdisciplinary approach provides an
opportunity for students to participate in
seminars while also studying in their
individual academic interest areas.
Development of the curriculum for the
academic year begins with community
involvement the previous spring. Students and
tribal representatives work to identify
educational goals and curriculum topics for
the program. A primary goal of this process is
the development of students' ability to be
effective inside and outside the native
community. After suggestions are received,
the faculty develop an interdisciplinary
curriculum and texts, methods and resources
to assist the learning process. Students playa
major part in making the learning appropriate to them in their community.
Within the framework of the identified
curriculum is the overall premise that an
"educated person" needs to have skills in
research, analysis and communication.
Material is taught using a tribal perspective
and issues related to tribal communities are
often the topics of discussion.

Advanced Work in Film/Video: Independent
contracts in film/video are available on a
limited basis to students who are ready for
advanced work in film/video production,
history and theory. Independent contract
projects might involve production of a film,
video or mixed-media piece; writing a script
or screenplay; or research on media history or
theory. To do an independent contract,
students must be at the junior or senior level
and must demonstrate a solid theoretical and
technical background in film and video
production, history and theory. This
background should be developed through
work in programs, courses and modules
equivalent to a concentration. Students must
have at least three quarters' prior experience
in the expressive arts or expect to have taken
and successfully completed an entry-level film

The Expressive Arts Planning Group is primarily concerned with helping students gain skills and
experience in the arts and very deliberately focuses on the interplay of theory and practice. In
many programs students have the opportunity to work in more than one art form simultaneously, and with collaborative and crossdisciplinary approaches to learning. Program themes
are drawn from current aesthetic and ideological interests of the faculty and vary widely from
year to year, ensuring that the faculty and curriculum remain vital and relevant. Students should
be aware that sequential skills training is not available in most of the arts but a hands-on
approach is taken in every program that has Expressive Arts faculty as members of the teaching
team. Expressive Arts offerings usually include work in the performing arts (theatre, music and
dance), media arts, visual arts and creative writing. In all of these contexts, we are working to
create a learning environment that supports a strong multicultural perspective.
The Expressive Arts faculty are committed to the importance of creative work as a central
element in liberal arts education. The skills acquired in Expressive Arts programs will contribute
to the work students undertake in future academic programs as well as professionally. However,
the faculty feel it is vital for students primarily interested in the arts to have a broad range of
other academic experiences and often require academic work outside of the area for admission
to certain arts programs. In essence, students should not expect to do all their undergraduate
work within the Expressive Arts. They are encouraged to move into and out of the area, taking
advantage of study opportunities in other Planning Groups at Evergreen. While studying in the
Expressive Arts, students are also encouraged to work in more than one of the arts areas and to
consider undertaking multimedia, collaborative projects with other students.
Offerings in the Expressive Arts include annual entry-level programs in media arts
(Mediaworks), performing arts (Music and Theatre in Cultural Context) and visual arts
(Foundations of Visual Arts) that are designed to provide an introduction to and theoretical
foundation for work in one or more arts disciplines. Because of high student demand, often
enrollment in some of these programs requires the completion of a written application or a
portfolio review. Crossdivisional programs that examine several media and are theme-based are
also typical. In addition, the area also offers some junior/senior level programs in which students
refine particular skills or create new work in a specialized setting.
Individual contracts and senior thesis projects allow students to do work that suits their own
particular needs and abilities. For both these options, eligibility requirements include a
minimum of three quarters of prior experience in the Expressive Arts. Students wishing to do
either contracted individual study or a senior thesis in the arts should check with Expressive
Arts faculty members about these requirements before submitting proposals. Faculty are also
available to support Student Originated Studies contracts for advanced, upper-division students.
Students may also enroll in skill-development modules designed to supplement work in
programs and group contracts. Finally, there are internship possibilities for preprofessional
work experience.
The Senior Thesis project in the Expressive Arts is a competitive program involving the
production of senior-level work in one or more media; participating students are advised by a
thesis committee comprised of three faculty or staff. Each spring students may submit proposals;
these are reviewed by the Expressive Arts faculty and successful projects are supported by a
small stipend.

and video program, such as Mediaworks.
Transfer students who have spent a year in
coordinated studies may also plan independent contracts if they have at least one year of
intensive course work in media production
and theory from their former institution.
Students may not use independent contracts
to learn basic production skills that are
taught in full-time programs, courses or
modules.
Portfolio for Visual Arts: The following items
should be included in the portfolio students
submit when seeking entrance into an
advanced program in the visual arts:
(1) At least six examples from a body of work
that examines a particular theme or topic.
The theme may be explored using a single
medium or through the use of several
different two-dimensional and three-

dimensional media. Slides, photographs and
actual pieces may be included;
(2) Students who have worked in a variety of
media should include examples from each,
demonstrating the range of diverse skills
developed; (3) Several examples of written
work should be contained in the portfolio.
Assigned papers, creative writing and/or selfevaluations would serve this purpose. These
materials should be contained in a portfolio
that is portable and easily carried from one
place to another. They should be arranged in
a coherent sequence based on one of the
following factors: chronology, medium,
theme or the sequences of programs in which
the work was completed. Students should
contact the relevant faculty or the Academic
Planning and Experiential Learning Office for
information concerning the times and places
for submission of portfolios.

geological and archaeological discoveries.
Throughout our search, we will work toward
cooperative explorations and personal
discoveries. This work will involve research,
interpretation of evidence, speculative
reasoning and carefully drawn conclusions.
Our search will use the academic tools of
history, archaeology, art history, literature,
mythology, folklore, religion and cosmology.
Our readings will include ancient historians,
poets, philosophers, playwrights, scientists as
well as modern interpreters.
Our goal is to develop an understanding of
this ancient world and its influence on our
lives today. Our winter quarter investigations
will involve considerable library research,
careful interpretation of evidence, intensive
research writing and speculative reasoning.
In spring quarter our study and research
will switch to the reality of the earth, sea and
skies of Greece, where we will test our
speculations on the remains of the ancient
world. Discoveries will occur at Delphi,
Athens, Corinth, Epidaurus and many lesserknown sites, including the islands. Our
researches will be based on the realities of
what remains in Greece as well as on fragments of lost Greek artifacts and civilizations.
We will explore the sites of history, myth,
events and archaeological discoveries (both
past and present). Our itinerary is still in the
'developmental stage but will include some
sites in other parts of Europe.
The estimated costs for travel and living in

to make creative and personal images in
response to difficult visual problems. Each
week, students will work in the studio a
minimum of four hours per day, and
participate in weekly life drawing classes,
critiquing sessions and seeing seminars.
Elements of aesthetics, basic design, topics in
art history, and working from personal
themes will form directions for fall quarter.
Winter and spring quarters, students will
alternate two sequences. The first will be an
introduction to painting and monoprinting,
while the second will emphasize sculpture.
The first five weeks of each term will be
designated for skill-building exercises. This
will consist of assignments that deal with
content, design or familiarization with
equipment. The second half of each quarter
will be more student-directed. Students will
explore' their ideas by creating an extensive
body of work and participating in critique
sessions, skill-building workshops, lectures,
and seminars.
This is a full-time program. Students
should expect to work a minimum of 40
hours per week in the studio.
Students wishing to enter FOVA each
quarter should bring a portfolio of their work
to Lucia Harrison and Paul Sparks at the
Academic Fair.

Ireland has been the home of unique forms of
religious expression, a rich musical life,
several hundred years of colonialism and
some of the greatest literary minds of the past
200 years. This two-quarter program will
study Ireland through its expressive culture
and historical events, from pre-Christian and
early Christian periods to the present. Poems,
songs, stories, films, dances, plays and
aspects of the Irish language all reveal
important clues about many different kinds
of Irish interactions. Accordingly, program
themes center around the relationships
between nature-based spirituality and
Christianity, orality and literacy, men and
women, language and cultural identity and
the Irish in relation to others, whether the
"others" are the fairies, the English,
Americans, Europeans or their own
ancestors. Our interdisciplinary work should
allow for a variety of approaches, from the
sociopolitical to the artistic. We will work to
create a supportive environment in which
participants can reclaim some of the essential
dimensions of being human.
The faculty envision a program in which
students grow comfortable with performing
publicly, learn the basics of the Irish
language, develop their skills in research and
critical analysis to explore important
theoretical issues verbally and in writing, and
participate fully in all activities. Each quarter
will include both a comprehensive writing
project and a collaborative performance.
Faculty will assist students in learning poetry
and songs and participating in plays and
preparing for intensive discussions of our
work during our twice-weekly seminars.
Potential texts for the program include
Joyce's Dubliners, Condren's The Serpent
and the Goddess, The Tdin and poems by W.
B. Yeats, Seamus Heaney and others. Each of
the three faculty will continue teaching
related programs in spring quarter, focusing
on Celtic music, the works of James Joyce
and the possibility of further study in Ireland.

Credit awarded in theater acting, directing,
playwriting, technical theater, theater theory.
Total: 24 credits
This program is preparatory for further study
in theater arts, more specifically, acting,
directing, playwriting, performance theory
and technical theater.

Credit awarded in Celtic studies, literature,
ethnomusicology, history and Irish language.
Total: 32 credits
Program is preparatory for careers and future

Academic Fair, Dec. 3, 1997; transfer students
may phone or send letter of application prior
to Academic Fair
Special Expenses: up to $2000 for travel
spring quarter
Part-Time Options: Spanish module
Internship Possibilities: No
Additional Course.Allowed: No
Travel Component: Field school in Chile
spring quarter
This program will look at contemporary
cultural, political and economic developments
in Latin America. In particular it will examine
the role of popular and alternative modes of
communication as forms of expression created
to challenge and resist authoritarian
governments and repressive social conditions
from the early 1960s to the present. The
program will pay particular attention to the
history, politics and culture of Chile during
the period of resistance to Pinochet's regime
and today. It will raise questions about the
model of economic and cultural development
currently being followed in a number of Latin
American nations, including Chile.
Our winter quarter studies will prepare
students for travel to Chile in the spring
quarter. Spring quarter studies are designed to
deepen understanding of the ways in which
Chile's model of development impacts
communities at different economic levels and
in different areas of the country, and to offer
students an opportunity to participate in
researching and producing a series of video
documentaries with those communities.
Students will be offered training in participatory research techniques and documentary
video production, as well as the history and
culture of Chile and Latin America.

Popular and Alternative Communication in
Latin America has three general objectives.
First it provides participants with an
interdisciplinary curriculum that will allow
them to study, research and experience
firsthand a wide range of issues and concerns
affecting Chile and South America at the end
of the 20th century. Secondly, the program
provides practical opportunities for intensive
language study. Students will attend regular
classes geared to their skill level with the goal
of developing or deepening their knowledge
of Spanish. Third, the travel component of
the program immerses participants in the
cultural, socio-political and economic reality
of a country struggling to overcome its
condition of underdevelopment. Students will
have the opportunity to participate in
workshops, conferences and discussions with
political and community leaders and
grassroots organizations and to study the
social, artistic, folkloric and intellectual life of
the country.
In spring 1998 Popular Alternative
Communication in Latin America will focus
on the production of a series of video
documentaries on Chilean life. The subjects
of the documentaries will include poverty,
popular culture, the status of women, artistic
expression, environmental concerns of the
people and the particular struggles and issues
facing different sectors of the population
under Chile's current neoliberal model of
economic development. The video productions will involve research, observation and
close collaboration with communities and
groups.
Credit awarded in film and television
documentary production, Latin American
studies, cultural studies, mass media, social
communication, sociology.
Total: 32 credits
Program is preparatory for careers and future
study in film/video, communication, Latin
American studies, journalism, social science
(sociology, anthropology, demography,
population).

Romanti cism,
Modernism and After
Fall, Winter, Spring/Coordinated Study
Faculty: Hiro Kawasaki, Charles Pailthorp,
Egon Verheyen
Enrollment: 65
Prerequisites: None
Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: No
Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: No
Additional Course Allowed: With approval
Romanticism, Modernism and After offers a
study of rapid cultural change through art,
music and literature at the turn of three
centuries: 1800, 1900 and 2000.
The theoretical focus will be how the arts
(both creativity and audience response) reflect
cultural change and how the experience of
both creator and audience advance or retard
cultural change. Particularly in the 19th and
20th centuries, to study cultural change
through the arts is to study changes in the life
of feeling of those living through that change.
It is a premise of this curriculum that feeling
is as much a construct in our experience as
thinking. As Clifford Geertz has put it, "Not
only ideas, but emotions too, are cultural
artifacts." This curriculum, therefore, will
study changes in the life of feeling in relation
to broader cultural change.
Our initial study of Romanticism, at the
turn of the 19th century, will be mainly
European-focused, with some attention paid
to the United States. The turn of the 20th
century, and the emergence of Modernism,
will also be studied using largely European
and North American materials. As we address
our own time, however, and the turn of the
21st century, we will question whether such
regionalism still makes sense. Perhaps we
have entered an era of world culture. We will
examine with care whether we have entered a
period of Postmodernism.
Innovative, or avant garde, art will
necessarily take center stage in this study, and
we will seek examples freely, including
literature, music, 20 and3D visual arts film
media ... drawing on whatever serves our '
inquiry. High art, countercultural art and
popular art all will be relevant to our study.
This program emphasizes the skills
involved in critical and perceptive reading,
listening and seeing. Writing will be
emphasized throughout the year. Above all,
this curriculum aims at the intelligent
interpretation of cultural change through an
examination of the arts.
Credit awarded in history, art history,
philosophy, aesthetics (both music and fine
arts), literature, writing and cultural studies.
Total: 48 credits
Program is preparatory for careers and future
study in the humanities and arts.

Student Originated Studies is a place in the
curriculum where groups of students may
make their own program of study. It differs in
this important way from the Individual
Learning Contracts: it is not an aggregation
of individual contracts. The process of
forming a group of advanced students and
"organically" developing an academic
program is challenging and time-consuming.
It is excellent preparation for the kind of
support groups artists form after leaving the
structure of academic life.
Groups of students will develop, design
and submit plans for spring quarter. Faculty
will base selection on the following criteria:
The group must involve no more than six
students and no fewer than four.
The submitted proposal must include: (1) a
program description and a goals statement;
(2) ten weekly schedules with activities, i.e.,
reading lists, seminar/discussions, critique,
visitors, studio time, field trips, ete., including
meeting times and places; (3) a rough draft of
a covenant, describing the agreed-on
responsibilities and obligations and signed by
all students; (4) a description of, and schedule
for, the mid-quarter and end-of-quarter peer
evaluation process; and (5) adherence to the
deadlines of the three-step planning process.
Submit your proposal to Susan Aurand

Ethnomusicology is the study of music in its
cultural context. The three broad areas of
musical sound, musical concepts and musical
behavior will be a part of our work as we
explore the Celtic musical regions: Ireland,
Scotland, the Shetland Isles, Bretagne,
Galicia, the Isle of Man, Wales, Cornwall,
Celtic America, Celtic Australia, and Cape
Breton. Our theoretical perspectives on music
in relation to politics, economy, colonialism,
dance, spirituality, language and gender will
help to guide us as we go beyond the basic
sounds of the music. Program activities will
include hands-on workshops with visiting
artists, weekly lessons in "scan-nos" (oldstyle) Gaelic singing, in-house performances,
critical listening, lectures, seminars, films and
intensive research. Students will be asked to
create a major research paper for the end of
the quarter, blending a theoretical approach
with a performance genre in a specific area
(for example, the impact of colonialism on
Cape Breton fiddling). Expect to be selfdirected, to share your ideas and research and
to perform publicly.

Science and technology play an important role in modern America. It is essential that citizens
be scientifically informed in order to make responsible decisions, and that scientists be broadly
trained in the liberal arts to contribute responsibly to social issues. The Scientific Inquiry group
. aims to teach students to think like scientists; that is, to collect and evaluate data, to employ
theory, to do quantitative modeling and to use appropriate instruments and technology. This
approach is embodied in the study of different scientific domains including the physical sciences,
mathematics, computing and laboratory biology. These subjects are studies in several ways: for
their own sake, for their applications, in terms of the philosophical issues they raise and for their
place in society.
The programs offered by faculty from this area will be useful to those interested in careers or
future work in science, those interested in applying science in selected technical areas as well as
those interested in understanding more about science by doing science as part of their more
general liberal arts education. Students from this area go on to graduate study in a variety of
scientific or related areas, enroll in medical school and work in careers requiring scientific,
mathematical or computing background. High-quality introductory and advanced study provide
them with a foundation (in theory and practice) that can enable them to be part of the conversation in these fields, as informed listeners able to effectively communicate the process and results
of scientific inquiry in speech and writing.

Are you interested in what goes on behind the
scenes of your PC, Mac, the Internet, your
word processor, the World Wide Web, your
school's information system or the computers
that simulate biological molecules and send
astronauts into space? Why do some
machines run faster than others? What does
an operating system do? How is it that Web
pages can be read around the world? How do
programs work?
Data to Information is an entry-level
program that is directed toward answering
these kinds of questions. It is a program for
students interested in doing substantive work
in computer science. We will do quite a bit of
. programming, and we will spend 25 percent
of our time studying the mathematics that
underlie computing and problem solving with
computers. Programming and problem
solving are the core of the program around
which we build an understanding of many
other aspects of computing and computer
science. You don't need to know how to
program before entering this program.
Data to Information includes a book
seminar each quarter in which we explore
issues surrounding computing, technology
and society in the present and the past. Fall
quarter topics: Introductory programming,
digital logic and computer design, topics in
discrete mathematics, and seminar. Winter
quarter topics include data structures and
algorithms, discrete mathematics and
computational structures, computer
architecture and seminar. Spring quarter
topics include more data structures and
algorithms, topics in mathematics, operating
systems and seminar.
Credit awarded in programming, digital logic,

Energies: Celestial and Terrestrial is a threequarter-long study of forms, effects and
transformations of energy, on earth and in
the universe. Stars concentrate mass, warping
space and time, and they transform matter
and gravitational energy into nuclear energy,
radiating heat and light, creating new
elements and interacting with their environment. How do energy exchanges within and
between stars and their environments
determine stellar birth, dynamics and death
(for example, as white dwarfs or black
holes)? Solar energy is transformed to
chemical energy (by plants) and to mechanical energy (in the ocean/atmosphere system)
on Earth. Planets and moons change nuclear
energy to mechanical energy (volcanoes) and
are sculpted by weather and geologic
processes. How do energy transformations by
stars, planets and humans affect celestial and
terrestrial environments and futures? How
do/can/should humans harvest and transform
energy on earth?
We will also study conventional and
alternative energy production, storage and
use, by natural and by human-engineered
processes. Primary technical themes may
include astronomy, thermodynamics,
electronics and instrumentation fluid
dynamics, plasma physics, fusion and/or
computer modeling.

We will also discuss how energy uses and
needs depend on technologies, policies,
designs, communities, histories and values.
In sum, we will analyze forms and
transformations of energy qualitatively and
mathematically. Contexts will range from
stellar evolution and dynamics to Earth-based
energy policy and architecture and to earth
and planetary geology; students will help
choose focus areas.
This program is designed for both entrylevel students and for more advanced
students. All students should take the core of
Energies program: energies, astronomy,
workshop and seminar. Students also have
the option of enrolling in complementary
modules such as geology, chemistry and
mathematics. Group B students may take the
astrophysics module of Energies.
In the spring, all students will undertake a
major individual or group project in the
community or in the lab, applying knowledge
from fall and winter studies to a real-life
concern. Examples include astronomical
observation, computational modeling,
architectural design, energy policy, development of educational resources or perhaps
artistic creation. Students will also continue
analysis, readings, critical writing and
discussion of energy issues.
Credit awarded in physics, astronomy,
chemistry, geology, math, history/philosophy
of science, computing, applied calculus, and
community and policy aspects of energy and
environment. Students doing advanced work
may earn upper-division science credit.
Total: Up to 48 credits
Energies is preparatory for careers and future
study in physics, engineering, astronomy,
geology, chemistry, computer modeling,
energy policy, applied mathematics,
education and other liberal arts.

Additional Course Allowed: No
This program will develop an integrated
understanding of chemistry, biology and
mathematics in a cultural context, with
emphasis on current environmental issues.
Most of the time will be devoted to systematic studies of these sciences, with an
emphasis on learning through workshops,
problem sessions and laboratories. Students
will be expected to work closely in small
groups, solving problems and discussing
concepts to acquire confidence in their
knowledge and real facility with scientific and
analytic principles. Students will be placed in
an appropriate math level, based on an
entrance assessment, and are expected to
make substantial progress in mathematics.
We recognize science as a powerful cultural
force in modern society. The world of the
21st century will be largely shaped by the
scientific and technological advances of the
past centuries, which hold out the possibility
of long, fulfilling lives for the world's people
alongside the possibility of worldwide
ecological disaster due to overpopulation,
pollution and habitat destruction. Which
possibility becomes reality will depend on
widespread education and understanding of
scientific issues, as well as complex social and
economic issues; yet the people who must
make the critical decisions are lamentably
ignorant of science and apathetic about the
issues. A major theme of the program will be
to address these problems of science in society
through a weekly seminar series. We will
emphasize analysis of the issues through
reading, discussion and writing.
We expect students to end the program
with a working knowledge of scientific and
mathematical concepts, with improved
abilities to reason critically and to solve
problems and with hands-on experience in
natural science.
Credit awarded in mathematics, chemistry,
biology and environmental studies.
Total: 32 credits
Program is preparatory for careers and future
study in education, health sciences, laboratory and field biology, environmental/earth/
marine science, and for students interested in
natural science as part of a liberal education.

contexts of mathematical and scientific events
to help us understand how mathematical
ideas are discovered. We will develop skills
not only in handling mathematical syntax,
but also in the crucial area of reading and
writing rigorous proofs in axiomatic systems.
In addition, we will consider such
questions as: Are mathematical systems
discovered or created? Why does a particular
culture allow some systems to flourish while
ignoring others? What are some of the
ramifications of embracing one model instead
of another? Why are there so few ranking
women mathematicians?
Students may enroll in individual modules
or the entire constellation of activities. If you

This program will examine the nature,
significance and limits of science. It is suitable
for students interested in the sciences or the
humanities. The program will begin with a
critique of standard philosophy of science
(the notion of scientific method, induction,
falsification) and will move on to the
revolution spearheaded by Kuhn and
Feyerabend. An analysis of the problems
created by this revolution will lead to a
consideration of alternative approaches to the
understanding of science (e.g., evolutionary
epistemology). We will pay particular
attention to new attempts to solve the
problems of realism and of the rationality of
science. We will also examine interesting
philosophical aspects of physics, biology and
other sciences. Once we have a better grasp of
issues concerning scientific knowledge, we
will begin to consider the relationship
between science and morality, society, art and
culture.
The material will be presented and
discussed in lectures, seminars, small group
discussions, editing groups, research groups
and research presentations, as well as in a
series of essays required from the students.

Philosophers, psychologists, neurobiologists,
computer scientists, linguists and anthropologists have raised questions about the human
mind. What is the structure of the mind?
What is the relationship of mind and brain?
Does the brain work like a computer: if so,
what kind of computer? How do culture and
biology affect the development of the mind?
To what extent is the mind rational?
A "cognitive revolution" has transformed
the study of these questions. The Science of
Mind will explore the nature of this
revolution. It will consider theories from past
and contemporary cognitive psychology and
neurobiology, issues in philosophy of science
and mind, as well as computer models of
mental activity. Emphasis will be placed on
theories about the nature of memory and
reasoning, as well as current developments in
the study of neural nets. The program will
cover basic cellular neurobiology, application
of neural network models, theory and
practice of experimental cognitive psychology, research design in psychology, descriptive and inferential statistics with psychological research applications, use of the computer
for data analysis and computer simulation of
mental activity.
Fall and winter quarters: considerable
work in statistics and research design, as well
as a survey of research in cognitive psychology, neurobiology and related philosophical
fields.

Faculty Signature: No
Special Expenses: No
Part-Time Options: With faculty permission
Internship Possibilities: Probably not
Additional Course Allowed: Possibly
In the spring, the imagination becomes
refreshed as the world turns warm and green
again. Students who have spent the fall and
winter quarters in other programs suddenly
find a desire to investigate new worlds, and
faculty members begin to think of cool ideas
they would like to explore for a while.
Springtime in Science is, at this time, an
unstructured offering. It promises only to find
a congenial theme on which faculty members
and students can collaborate in a spirit of
high adventure. We will search for such a
theme through conversations during the
preceding fall and winter quarters. The
program will probably have a prerequisite of
some basic science and mathematics, but the
primary prerequisite will be enthusiasm and
dedication. Whatever theme we settle on,
students can expect to work hard and to reap
significant rewards for their work.

Even with the best efforts of computer users,
critical problems with software development
remain: most software is late, over-budget,
socially irresponsible, unable to perform
according to user needs or some combination
of these. The problem is not just a matter of
technology, but of organization, psychology,
group dynamics and culture. In addition,
considerable knowledge and understanding of
the relevant domain is required to design and
implement a successful system.
Student Originated Software is intended to
prepare students to face these problems.
It will help students with advanced programming skills (or some programming skills and
domain expertise) identify and carry out a
viable software project. Student groups will
identify a project, prepare market research
and feasibility studies, identify a "real world"
client (or class of clients) and write software
specifications. Under the guidance of faculty
and working with users, students will conduct
systems analysis and design, implementation
and product testing and validation, write user
manuals and system maintenance plans and
(where appropriate) conduct or plan system
installation and user training. Students will
evaluate their software project according to
technical, legal and social criteria.
Domains of past projects include: sciences,
music, visual arts, education, computer
security, databases. The program seminar will
address ergonomics and human-machine
interaction and the psychology of computer
programming; the role of technical expertise
and the Internet in society; the organizational,
social and cultural milieu of the workplace.

Many faculty in this planning group are
engaged in research projects that offer
collaborative research opportunities for
advanced students. These provide an
important mode of advanced work in the
sciences, taking advantage of faculty
expertise, Evergreen's flexible structure and
excellent equipment purchased through
grants from the National Science Foundation
and the Murdock Foundation. In general,
students begin by working in apprenticeship
mode with more senior personnel and
gradually take on more independent projects
within the context of the specific program.
These projects generally run 12 months a
year; a signature is required from the faculty
with whom students will be working.
Current projects include: Betty Kutter
(molecular biology), Jim Neitzel (biochemistry), Burton Guttman (genetics), Judith
Cushing (computer sciences): Bacteriophage
T4 has been a key model organism in
molecular genetics for more than 50 years. Its
infection of E. coli leads to rapid cessation of
host DNA, RNA and protein synthesis. We
are working to clone and over-express the
many host-lethal genes that are responsible,
purify and characterize their protein
products, determine their specific functions,
look at ways in which they can be used to
better understand bacterial metabolism and
examine the infection process under a variety
of environmental conditions. We are also the
center for genomic analysis and database
development for these phages.
Judith Bayard Cushing studies how
scientists use distributed computing and data
to conduct research. She would like to work
with students who have background in
computer science or molecular biology, forest
ecology, chemistry or physics and a strong
motivation to explore new computing
paradigms, such as object-oriented systems
and multi-platform computing.
Jeff Kelly and Clyde Barlow work with
biophysical applications of spectroscopy to
study physiological processes at the organ
level, with direct applications to health
problems. Students with backgrounds in
biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics or
computer science can obtain practical
experience in applying their backgrounds to
biomedical research problems in an interdisciplinary laboratory environment.

Dharshi Bopegedera is interested in
studying vibration-rotation spectra of
unstable molecules. Students with a solid
background in chemistry can get experience
in synthesizing unstable gaseous molecules
and recording their infra-red spectra with her
newly acquired FTIR spectrophotometer.
Janet Ott studies alternative healing
methods, especially the mechanisms involved
in acupuncture and acupressure, by measuring changes in such physiological processes as
EEG, ECG, EMG and respiration during
treatments. Students with strong backgrounds
in biology, chemistry, physics or statistics can
obtain laboratory experience applying their
expertise to this growing field. Students with
an interest in alternative medicine may also
find this laboratory experience of use to their
training.

Vital Stuff will be an intermediate to advanced investigation of the interactions between organisms
and their food stuffs, featuring the biology and
chemistry of the processes involved in food preparation, preservation, analysis, digestion and metabolism. This will include the use of models drawn
from organic and biochemistry,physiology and
molecular biology,neurobiology and nutrition. We
will include reading, movies, guest lectures and field
trips to examine the ways humans have used to feed
themselves in various times and places, including
literature inspired by food and the role of food in
history.Will also examine current concerns on food
value, safety and the modification of foods by
technology.
Students will be concurrently registered in
Organic Chemistry I and II in the fall and winter
quarters to develop a strong understanding of the
structure, function, and reactions of biological
molecules and natural products. Students will also be
given a strong foundation in cell biology and
relevant aspects of anatomy and physiology.Microbiology will also be introduced, as microbes are used
as significant agents for food processing as well as
common contaminants. The neurobiology of sensory
perception will be included to examine how humans
see, smell, and taste food and how chemical components of food interact with sensory processes. We
will also examine human genetics and molecular
biology to explore how genetic information
influences what people can and cannot eat.
Many choices about what people eat are based on

"Social Theory, Social Change and Public Policy" integrates anthropology, economics, history,
law, public policy, labor studies, management, political science, philosophy, sociology, health
sciences and psychology as a set of tools for understanding society and the individual's role in
society.
, The area has a diverse range of faculty who look at ways societies are organized and
governed and the ramifications for class, race and gender in global, national and local contexts.
Through our various academic offerings, we explore the evolution of historical and contemporary problems: how they are understood, how and why certain decisions are made and what
difference various solutions make for the quality of societal and individual existence. We also
examine strategies for social change in historical, present and alternative future time frames.
Depending on which programs are undertaken in this area, students can learn management
skills, including values and ethics and the public interest; social, psychological, and biological
forces which affect human health and behavior; and policy formulation and implementation.
Since all major social problems are deeply grounded in cultural, philosophical, social
economic and political theories, history and practice, the understanding and integration of these
areas will prepare students for solving contemporary problems and anticipating new and
changing realities.
This area also works collaboratively with the faculty assigned to the Master in Teaching and
Master of Public Administration graduate programs to develop the curriculum in the social
SCiences,

Travel Component: In-state field trip
What is "Black feminist thought" and how
does it differ from the "Black Atlantic"
germane to African American femini~m? Can
men be "Black feminists?" What is the
relationship between subject position and the
articulation of oppositional theory within
United States culture? These questions and
others will be posed in this group contract as
the uses to which the historical images of
African American women have been put in
the United States are investigated. As African
American women have sought to challenge
their relationship to the nation-state they have
also tried to redefine social theory, feminist
theory, as well as reshape the dominant
literary narratives. This attempt to "tell the
story" from within has not been without
conflict; the constructed images of African
American women as dangerous "queens"
transcends socioeconomic class and have
simultaneously affected the exercise of
citizenship by public personae and influenced
public policy.
This group contract will also look at the
variety of ways in which primarily American
Blackwomen have theoretically confronted
the dilemmas of representation as they
engaged the following themes: the heritage of
slavery and the social construction of
womanhood; the confrontation by early Black
feminists to the limitations of the suffragette
movement; transformation of America within
the path to "equal access"; debates about
class and race within the paradigms of
femininity; the public crises of gender
relations, sexuality and the eroticizing of
inequality; challenges to the talismanic
discourse about family and its basis for the
assault on affirmative action, welfare and
workers' rights.

Students will be expected to lead a seminar
discussion of at least one reading, read the
equivalent of nine books, prepare and share
an "intellectual journal" and write a seniorlevel research paper.
Texts and articles will be reinforced by
weekly videos and/or films. At least one field
trip to Seattle will take place as appropriate.
Authors will likely include the following: C.
Boyce-Davies, H.V. Carby, A.J. Cooper, B.
Guy-Sheftall; P. Hill-Collins; A. Davis, F.V.
Harrison, B. Hooks; A. Lorde, T. Morrison,
L. Mullings, H. Spillers, M. Wallace, and
D.G. White.
Credit awarded in literature', cultural
anthropology', African American studies',
cultural studies' and feminist theory'.
Total: 16 credits
Program is preparatory for careers and future
study in literature, cultural anthropology,
African American studies, cultural studies and
feminist theory.

Complex social life is conducted in organizations, be they families, associations, agencies
or corporations. This program recognizes that
all organizations, public or private, large or
small, require creative designs and enlightened management if they are to fulfill their
missions. The goal of Designing and
Managing Organizations (DMO) is to
understand and apply the social theories that
explain organizational and social change and
to be able to build and sustain organizations
capable of meeting the challenges and
responsibilities of a democracy.
The program is organized around an
annual theme (e.g., integrating high technology, meeting customer-citizen needs,
democratic decision-making) that is pursued
through three related, but distinct tracks;
business, government and associations (nonprofits). In studying the theme as it unfolds in
each of these contexts, students learn to
recognize the special structural and cultural
requirements for managing different types of
organizations.
Students work through a series of courses
and workshops designed to increase analytic
and communication skills, develop the
capacities to lead and to collaborate,
recognize and respond to the common
challenges encountered in trying to manage
resources. Since management requires both
accurate strategic and tactical decisionmaking, special emphasis will be given to
quantitative and qualitative forms of research
and data analysis. Students will have the
opportunity to improve their skills in working
with the modern computer tools of information management, data analysis and
presentation.

Images are among the most subtly nuanced
forms human beings create to describe their
experience and sense of things. This program
will combine focused study of Native
American culture, including an analysis of the
effects images and representations of that
culture have on indigenous people and the
general American consciousness, with project
work. In designing projects, students are
expected to create images and visions of use
to them to address realities that need
addressing to benefit their communities. To
design these projects, students are asked to
reflect on: What do I need to do? How do I
propose to do it? What do I plan to learn?
What difference will my work make? All
students will answer the four questions and
propose an individual or group project by
Monda y of the third week of each quarter.
Students will share common activities:
reading, viewing and discussing texts, films
and slides that represent images of indigenous
culture. This material will combine studies in
indigenous history, policy, literature, art
history and education, as well as discussion of
human beings/relationships in the natural
world. These studies are expected to raise
issues for students and provide context as they
formulate projects.

Individuals and groups will discuss projects
with faculty and colleagues so people can
share expertise and help one another
maximize their learning. The program will
allow people from a variety of communities to
learn about the culture and issues important to
indigenous people and to create intercultural
understanding.
The program is designed for students
wishing to prepare for careers in Native
American policy, education and art, as well as
people interested in Native American law, in
cultural studies and in literature. People
wishing to do project work to gain endorsements for their teaching credentials in
English, art or social studies or those planning

The world economy is undergoing acute and
unprecedented flux and transformation. Is the
move to globalization inevitable? What is the
future of the nation-state in the face of the
hypermobility of capital, technology, market
forces, a "world culture," the re-emergence of
nationalism and the increasing disparity and
similarity between "first" and "third"
worlds? Is the public sphere disappearing in
the face of privatization and neo-Iiberal
policy? These are big questions, and the
answers are relevant for every person on
earth.
We will begin with an historical approach
to the evolution of the international political
economy to understand the historical process
by which over the past 500 years Europeans
(and later Euro-Americansl created capitalism
and the nation-state as well as the rules of the
international system and the process by which
the rest of the world generally became poor
and powerless.
We will then assess the rapidly changing,
often volatile, international political
economy. We will explore the relationship
between transnational corporations and
multilateral institutions (World Bank and
International Monetary Fund); investigate the
neo-liberal agenda as expressed through
public policies in the First World, structural
adjustment programs in the Third World and
"shock therapy" in Eastern Europe; explore
changing structures of power through an
examination of state-market and regional
trading-bloc relationships (NAFTA, EU,
ASEAN); and look directly at resistance
strategies and the nature of global social
change. Students will write frequently, engage
in a research project and analyze The New
York Times daily

This one-quarter program is for students
interested in the most relevant aspects of
social communication in society. We will
examine the structure and process of mass
communication, emphasizing television, radio
and the press, and explore the role of mass
communication in socialization, public
opinion formulation and social change.
We will concentrate on a sociological study
of society, with emphasis on examining the
role of social communication in the contexts
of culture, social organizations, social classes
and ideologies. We will also study the nature
of social communication, its meaning and the
scientific study of the message behind
information, Finally, we will study the role of
national advertising in contemporary society.
This program will pursue various
approaches to these subjects. Lectures,
workshops, video and film documentaries
have been organized thematically. Selections
will provide a broad introduction to, and
interpretation of, mass communication.
Another important purpose of this
program is to provide students with an
understanding of research methods in social
communication, including documentary
research. We will examine various approaches to research and related theoretical
assumptions. Students will be required to
work in small research groups and apply the
techniques they learn to topics of their own
interest. Research groups should submit
written proposals of their projects by the
third week of the quarter.

Special Expenses: No
Part-Time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: No
Additional Course Allowed: No
This program will study in some depth and
critically the assumptions, logic, conclusions,
public policy and social implications of
mainstream or neoclassical economics. We
will analyze principles of microeconomics:
key concepts such as scarcity, efficiency and
opportunity cost; and how labor and goods
markets function, the determination of prices
and output, and wages and profits; the
determination of poverty, nationally and
globally; and the role of competition and
monopoly. There will be an equal emphasis
on the principles of macroeconomics - the
determination of economic growth and
output, inflation and unemployment - and
the role of money, government spending and
taxes. This program will compare and
contrast neoclassical economics to what is
usually called political economy, with respect
to methodology, concepts and their analyses
of key economic issues. Both the neoclassical
and political economy paradigms will be
studied in the context of the globalization of
the U.S. economy and the growing economic
integration globally.
No background in economics is assumed,
knowledge of basic high school algebra is
highly recommended.
Credit awarded in principles of
microeconomics, principles of macroeconomics and political economy.

There is growing inequality of income and
wealth, between rich and poor, within the
United States and between the richer and
poorer countries of the world. We will draw
on political economy, history, literature and
anthropology to address this growing
disparity, nationally and globally. What are
the causes, consequences and solutions to this
growing division between the haves and have
nots? This will be the focus of this program
as will be analysis of the persistence of racial
and gender inequalities.
This two-quarter program will examine
differing meanings of inequality and equality
in the past and present and in different
societies. We will study the differential access
to rewards and punishment, and social
movements challenging these disparities in the
United States, the Middle East and Latin
America. There will be several case studies.
The limitations of struggles for equal
access and representation by oppressed
groups within the United States will be
assessed, as will strategies that aim to
fundamentally transform the society.
Contemporary analysis of the social

construction of "race" and ethnicity and of
gender will be closely examined. The concept
of economic development and theories of
development will be studied. We will
investigate the impact of neo-liberalism and
structural adjustment policies on the
economies of countries subject to these
policies and resistance to them.
Various theories and ideologies such as
liberalism, feminism, mainstream economics,
Marxism and cultural studies will be assessed
with respect to their definitions of equality
and their interpretations of various forms of
inequality. Reading materials will include
fiction and non-fiction literature, and social
science readings from a wide variety of
perspectives and cultures. There will be
weekly films.
Credit awarded in political economy, history,

Many Americans regard the political and
civil liberties guaranteed in the U.S.
Constitution and its amendments as the
foundation of U.S. democracy. Yet these
rights are challenged today. Freedom of
speech is confronted by those advocating
censorship of rock music lyrics and TV
broadcasts. Schools hassle over teaching
"creationism" in classrooms and waffle
between secularizing religious holidays and
celebrating the holidays of all religions.
Search and seizure laws and guarantees
against self-incrimination are under fire.
Furthermore, Americans may be denied
the ability to exercise their rights because of
our political institutions, economic practices
and/or our interpretation and implementation of governmental policies. Campaign
finance laws can enable many or just the rich
to run for office. Election districting can
prevent or assure election of candidates of
certain ethnic backgrounds. The right of free
speech may mean little to the citizen facing
the concentration of ownership of the media
or to the artist facing the concentration of
wealth. And what does freedom of religion
mean if social policies contradict one's beliefs
and family practices or if religious education
is available only to the well-to-do?
Many of the constitutional contests have
arisen from the tensions inherent in a
document that protects both individuals and
collective entities and provides for majority
rule while shielding the minority from the
tyranny of the majority. These contests
continue to define the boundaries between
liberty and the legitimate authority of
government.

This program will examine the evolution of
rights in the United States. We will study the
emergence of thinking about rights in Europe,
the writing of the United States Constitution
and the Amendments to that Constitution that
establish rights, and the controversies over
rights from the Founding Period to the
present. We will study some of today's
contests over specific rights and some U.S..
policies, like welfare, and their effects on the
exercise of rights. Through a study of micro
and macro economic principles students will
learn the principles and analyze how market
ideologies address, promote and deny rights.
We will study research and statistical methods
central to evaluating and implementing
policies with regard to their influence on
people's rights and central to studying topics
generally in the social sciences.

Philosophers, psychologists, neurobiologists,
computer scientists, linguists and anthropologists have raised questions about the human
mind. What is the structure of the mind?
What is the relationship of mind and brain?
Does the brain work like a computer: if so,
what kind of computer? How do culture and
biology affect the development of the mind?
To what extent is the mind rational? A
"cognitive revolution" has transformed the
study of these questions. The Science of Mind
will explore the nature of this revolution. It
will consider theories from past and
contemporary cognitive psychology and
neurobiology, issues in philosophy of science
and mind, as well as computer models of
mental activity. Emphasis will be placed on
theories about the nature of memory and
reasoning, as well as current developments in
the study of neural nets. The program will
cover basic cellular neurobiology, application
of neural network models, theory and
practice of experimental cognitive psychology, research design in psychology, descriptive and inferential statistics with psychological research applications, use of the computer
for data analysis and computer simulation of
mental activity.
Fall and winter quarters: considerable
work in statistics and research design, as well
as a survey of research in cognitive psychology, neurobiology and related philosophical
fields.

WADE NOBLES

In this three-quarter-long coordinated studies
program geared toward working adults,
program participants will examine those
power dynamics and systems that have
historically defined and impacted their lives
and the lives of their ancestors. This
examination of selected past and present
power relations will serve as a catalyst for
determining the range of actions that could be
undertaken to ensure their children and
grandchildren maximum participation in the
definitions of their future lives.
Fall and winter, students will examine the
following questions: What is power? Who has
power? Who is denied power? How does one
get it, and once one gets it, how can it be used
in the community's best interests? Subject

."Enter

matter areas on which this examination will
be based include, but are not limited to, the
following: history, political science, law,
literature, public policy, cultural studies and
quantitative and scientific methods. Skills and
processes that will be emphasized throughout
the year include reading, writing, thinking,
research, linguistics, media decoding and
deconstruction and systemic analysis. Spring
quarter we will apply the learning from fall
and winter to the conceptualization,
collaborative planning and implementation of
an all-campus community-based project that
will put forth an image of what our communities would look like if there was a more
equitable and just distribution of resources.
All students are expected to attend and
participate in all aspects of the program,
including lectures, seminars, workshops and
field trips. All students are also expected to
write substantive research papers and to be
fully engaged in the spring quarter all-campus
applied research project.
Students who successfully complete this
program will be able to do multilevel analysis
of complex systems and institutions, and will
be able to do and apply prospective research
on issues from global, national and local
perspectives and conceptualize a plan of
action.

Native American Studies at The Evergreen
State College offers a variety of pathways to
prepare students for meaningful and
important work in indigenous communities
and on indigenous issues. In Native American
Studies, students work to develop individual
identity, group loyalty, personal authority and
community responsibility. Having developed
these strengths and skills, they return to their
communities to make a positive impact on the
world around them.
Some of our programs, like the Reservation-Based, Community-Determined
program, focus on developing leadership in
indigenous communities. Other programs,
like Images: Physical Speculations on
Unknown Conditions and like Natural
Resource Policy: The Shaping of Nations,
focus on developing the skills and abilities of
people both inside and out of indigenous
communities who want to learn about and
work on native issues and policies. In such
programs, as in other Evergreen programs,
students develop skills to work in a variety of
fields and prepare themselves for graduate
school or professional opportunities.
In addition to these academic programs,
the college also has a Longhouse Education
and Cultural Center, which represents a
living, contemporary cultural link to the
Indigenous Nations of the Pacific Northwest.
The purpose and philosophy of the
Longhouse Center is based in service and
hospitality to students, the college, indigenous
communities, and the community at large.
The primary function of the facility is to
provide classroom space on campus, house
Native American Studies programs, serve as a
center for multicultural and crosscultural
interaction and host conferences, cultural
ceremonies, performances, exhibits and
community gatherings. One important
current Longhouse initiative is the Native
Arts Economic Development project, which
works with indigenous groups in Southwest
Washington to identify and support native
artists.

Images are among the most subtly nuanced
forms human beings create to describe their
experience and sense of things. This program
will combine focused study of Native
American culture, including an analysis of the
effects images and representations of that
culture have on indigenous people and the
general American consciousness, with project
work. In designing projects, students are
expected to create images and visions of use
to them to address realities that need
addressing to benefit their communities. To
design these projects, students are asked to
reflect on: What do I need to do? How do I
propose to do it? What do I plan to learn?
What difference will my work make? All
students will answer the four questions and
propose an individual or group project by
Monday of the third week of each quarter.
Students will share common activities:
reading, viewing and discussing texts, films
and slides that represent images of indigenous
culture. This material will combine studies in
indigenous history, policy, literature, art
history and education, as well as discussion of
human beingslrelationships in the natural
world. These studies are expected to raise
issues for students and provide context as
they formulate projects.
Individuals and groups will discuss projects
with faculty and colleagues so people can
share expertise and help one another
maximize their learning. The program will
allow people from a variety of communities to
learn about the culture and issues important to
indigenous people and to create intercultural
understanding.

The program is designed for students
wishing to prepare for careers in Native
American policy, education and art, as well as
people interested in Native American law, in
cultural studies and in literature. People
wishing to do project work to gain endorsements for their teaching credentials in
English, art or social studies, or those planning
careers in elementary education, particularly
those interested in teaching in diverse
classrooms and on reservations, are encouraged to enroll.
Credit awarded in Native American policy,
Native American art history, Native
American studies; credits tailored to student's
projects.
Total: 36-48 credits

group contract that examines the history of
natural resource issues in the United States to
provide a context for understanding current
attitudes toward natural resources and Native
American communities and to understand
current policy and decision making.
Fall quarter will begin by looking at how
the displacement of Native Americans and the
exploitation of natural resources shaped the
nation and many of our cultural attitudes. We
will explore the origins of the conservation
and preservation movements, then go on to
explore the history of how logging, fishing,
mining, western water policy and hydropower shaped the communities and people of
the Pacific Northwest.

Natural Resources: Tribal Issues is an upperdivision coordinated studies program that
examines natural resource issues in the Pacific
Northwest with the intent of understanding
public policy and the role of Native American
communities. We will examine how Western
forest policy, Western water law, salmon and
hydropower concerns are affected by the
tribes' treaty rights on and off reservation and
also study natural resource issues on reservations. All of these will be studied in the
framework of federal and state laws and
policies and treaty rights. Each student will
select a case study and examine it from either
the perspective of tribal, federal or state
governments. Students will be encouraged to
work in small groups and intern on a local
reservation to assist in a tribal natural resource
policy issue or on a restoration project.
Class time will be a combination of lectures,
seminars and workshops. Approximately half
of the student credit will be generated from inclass activities and half from hands-on field
work with local tribal people.

This community-determined program on the
Quinault, Skokomish, Makah and Port
Gamble S'Kallam reservations seeks students
who work/live on a reservation and are tribal
members or Indian.
The program emphasizes community
building within Native American communities where the classes are held. The curriculum is a direct result of students and tribal
officials determining what an educated
member of an Indian nation who wants to
contribute to the community needs to know.
The interdisciplinary approach provides an
opportunity for students to participate in
seminars while also studying in their
individual academic interest areas.
Development of the curriculum for the
academic year begins with community
involvement the previous spring. Students and
tribal representatives work to identify
educational goals and curriculum topics for
the program. A primary goal of this process is
the development of students' ability to be
effective inside and outside the native
community. After suggestions are received,
the faculty develop an interdisciplinary
curriculum and texts, methods and resources
to assist the learning process. Students playa
major part in making the learning appropriate to them in their community.
Within the framework of the identified
curriculum is the overall premise that an
"educated person" needs to have skills in
research, analysis and communication.
Material is taught using a tribal perspective
and issues related to tribal communities are
often the topics of discussion.

Indian tribes have an important role in offreservation environmental decision-making in
Washington state. This includes co-management of the salmon resource, decisions about
the impact of forest practices on fish habitat,
involvement in licensing and relicensing
hydropower projects and responsibility for air
and water quality on tribal lands. This course
will look at the history leading up to current
policies and examine current natural resource
issues.

Contracts and Internships
Students may negotiate Independent
Contracts and Internships by working with
Native faculty and faculty experienced in
Native American issues. In the past, students
have designed internships in classrooms,
tribal centers, art galleries, prisons, natural
resource programs and a variety of other
sites.
Other organizations on campus that
support Native American students include:
Native American Students' Alliance,
American Indian Science and Engineering

Graduate Teacher Education
The MIT program at Evergreen is a fulltime, six-quarter, two-year professional
teacher preparation program leading to the
MIT degree and initial teacher certification in
Washington state.
The MIT program reflects the Evergreen
coordinated studies model; the curriculum is
organized around integrated themes. An
interdisciplinary team of faculty and a cohort
of approximately 60 full-time students join
together in a community of learners to pursue
inquiry of the curricular themes.
The MIT program is centered around the
exploration of how public education might
meet the needs of the diverse groups of people
who live in this democracy. We examine what
it means to base teacher education and public
education on a multicultural, democratic, developmental perspective and how performance-based assessment can promote these
values.
The program interrelates theory and
practice by including two full quarters of
student teaching and substantial field
experiences. During the first year of the
program, approximately one-fourth of
program time is spent in the field observing
and working with students and the remaining
time is devoted to on-campus seminars,
workshops, and lectures. During the second
year nearly 70 percent of MIT student time is
allocated to direct involvement in K-12
schools.
Year one of each MIT cycle begins according to the Evergreen schedule in late
September while year two begins in late
August in accordance with the public school
calendar.

DIRECTOR:

DIRECTOR : CAROLYN DOBBS

RICHARD CELLARIUS

The graduate program in Environmental
Studies combines a deep understanding of
ecological and environmental issues with a
study of environmental policy development
and implementation. The program focuses on
the relationship between science and policy,
so students can expect a balanced curriculum
that considers and seeks creative solutions to
contemporary environmental issues. Since
1984, the program has prepared students for
employment in the public and private sectors
or continuing graduate study in related fields.
The MES Program is open to part-time and
full-time students. To accommodate working
students, course work is concentrated in the
evening and late afternoon. Part-time students
enroll for eight credits per quarter, while fulltime students enroll for 12. The 72-credit
completion requirement can be met by parttime students in nine quarters, while full-time
students can complete it in as few as six
quarters. Students are expected to have recent
course work in the social and natural sciences
and in statistics before entering the program.
The MES Program consists of three parts:
required core courses taken by all students;
elective course work; and a thesis. The core is
taught by an interdisciplinary team of faculty,
representing the natural and social sciences. It
is eight credits per quarter. The core sequence
runs consecutively for four quarters: Political,
Economic and Ecological Processes;
Population, Energy and Resources; Quantitative Analysis for Environmental Studies; and
Case Studies: Environmental Assessment,
Policy and Management.
Electives are in-depth four-credit courses
that focus on specific topics of environmental
analysis and problem solving. Part-time
students enroll in electives after completing
core courses. Full-time students enroll in both
core courses and electives. Typically, three or
four elective courses are offered each quarter.
All students are required to complete a
thesis. The MES Program offers an eightcredit and 16-credit thesis option. The eightcredit thesis is completed during winter and
spring quarter of each academic year.
Students selecting the eight-credit thesis
option complete the MES degree with 32
credits of core courses, 32 credits of elective
course work and eight credits of thesis. The
16-credit thesis option offers students the
opportunity for extended research, data
collection and analysis. Students selecting the
16-credit thesis complete the MES degree
with 32 credits of core, 24 credits of electives,
and 16 credits of thesis.
Questions concerning the MES Program
should be directed to Bonita Evans, Program
Coordinator, MES, LAB I, The Evergreen
State College, Olympia, WA, 98505, (360)
866-6000, ext. 6707.

The primary commitment of the graduate
program in Public Administration is to challenge and thoroughly prepare students to seek
democratic, equitable, practical solutions to .
problems facing public, private and non-profit
sectors and citizens in the Pacific Northwest.
The program welcomes students intending
to pursue a public-sector career as well as
those already working for government or
organizations involved in public issues. We
also encourage students with career interests
in the non-profit or private sectors to consider
the MP A Program. Most MP A students are
employed fulltime in the public, non-profit or
private sectors. To accommodate working
students, classes are offered in the evenings.
A student can complete the 60-credit
degree requirement in six to eight academic
quarters. Students lacking significant publicsector experience are expected to complete an
internship for at least one quarter. Students
are required to have recently completed
statistics and micro/macro economics. Both
are offered in Evergreen's summer school.
To satisfy the degree requirement, a student
must participate in a sequence of six core
programs and complete 12 hours of elective
courses. Each core program is interdisciplinary and team-taught by two or three faculty.
The core sequence provides sustained
instruction in the analytical, administrative
and communication skills needed for effective
public service. It is also designed to imbue
students with the habit of examining the
political and economic context of public
administration and policy-making, addressing
the ethical dimension of administration and
policy and attending to issues of race and
gender in the workplace and in public policy.
The MPA core curriculum includes: The
Political and Economic Context of Public
Administration; Research Methods for the
Public Sector; Understanding Public Organizations; Fiscal Policy; Public Policy and Its
Administrative Implications; and the
Application Project.
The eight-credit applications project is
completed during spring quarter of the second
year. It is typically a group-authored research
effort with practical impact for current public
policy issues. Topic, form and content will
vary with students' interests, opportunities
and development, but every project represents
the culmination of work in the program and
provides a document that demonstrates the
author's knowledge and ability.
Elective courses allow a student to broaden
the study of the public sector beyond the
range of the core programs or to concentrate
on a specific public-sector issue.
Inquiries about the MPA program should
be addressed to Bonita Evans, Program
Coordinator, LAB I, The Evergreen State
College, Olympia, WA, 98505, (360) 8666000, ext. 6707.

A few words about Evergreen, a college built on the philosophy
that teachers should focus on the educational experience
of each individual student. Free of distractions created

college truly unlike any other. A few words, commonly used

share them with you here, as you begin to explore all that
Evergreen has to offer.

evaluations of each student's work and progress, and
each student writes a self-evaluation. These become
