Returning to College
Many evening and weekend students are returning to college after years away from the classroom. If you’re a little nervous about jumping back in, you’re not alone and you can do it.
Evergreen faculty have extensive experience with adult students and can help you structure your work to learn what you need as you go. In fact, most students studying at Evergreen are not coming directly from high school.
