The Evergreen State College has been named a 2016 Best Buy School by the prestigious “Fiske Guide to Colleges.”

For the past 30 years Fiske has compiled an annual list of select educational institutions noted for quality academic offerings and affordable cost. The guide includes more than 300 of the nation’s best colleges and universities. The 2016 Fiske Guide Best Buy list is comprised of 20 public and 24 private colleges and universities in the U.S., Canada, and Great Britain.

Evergreen is the only college in Washington state to be listed as a Best Buy institution and one of three on the West Coast, along with the University of Oregon and Oregon State University.

All Best Buy schools fall into the inexpensive or moderate price category and most picks have four or five-star academics ratings. “Fiske Guide to Colleges” was created by former “New York Times” education editor, Edward B. Fiske, once the top independent voice in college admissions.

The Evergreen State College serves more than 4000 students and is nationally recognized for its distinctive interdisciplinary approach, narrative evaluations and emphasis on learning by doing. The college also offers an upper division program in Tacoma and three graduate programs: Master in Teaching, Master of Public Administration (including a tribal governance concentration) and Master of Environmental Studies. Thanks to recent legislative action, Evergreen’s resident undergraduate tuition is expected to be reduced by five percent for the 2015-16 academic year and another 15 percent for the 2016-17 academic year. Evergreen also offers more than 100 scholarship opportunities based on merit, need or course of study.
