The Evergreen State College

The Evergreen State College is an accredited public baccalaureate college, founded in 1967 in the state capital, Olympia, Washington. Begun as an experimental and non-traditional college, its academic offerings have become generally more traditional over time, but the college still replaces grades with individual written evaluations from faculty and organizes most studies into largely interdisciplinary classes titled "Coordinated Studies."
