Grays Harbor College and The Evergreen State College collaborate to provide a Bachelor of Arts degree on various Native American reservations. The first two years are an Associate of Arts (AA) degree offered through Grays Harbor College. Developmental education courses are also available in writing, reading, and mathematics. The reservation-based Grays Harbor program is comprised of a unique set of courses particularly relevant to Native American communities. Both the upper and lower division curriculum are guided by a theme that changes from year to year.

Much of the coursework for the Associate of Arts degree is offered through WashingtonOnline which provides distance learning through the internet. The three year sequence of courses is described below as well as the 2005-06 offerings. Most students will enroll for 12 credits or three courses each quarter; two of the courses will be taught via distance learning. The third course is an integrating seminar which is a face-to-face course. The integrating seminar includes a weekly site-based class and four Saturday sessions at Evergreen's Longhouse in Olympia with the upper division students. In addition students will attend a weekly class at each reservation site. Local study leaders are available at each reservation.
