MOUNTAINS TO THE SEA

variety of perspectives, perform hands-on lab experiments, observe the Earth’s processes
on field trips (including a required weekend field trip), and connect those activities through
writing and research projects.

ORCA: OCEAN RESEARCH COllEGE ACADEMY
ORCA is EvCC’s early college, designed to meet high school graduation requirements and the
Associate in Arts and Sciences degree requirements. Students are dually enrolled in EvCC’s
Running Start Program support by their sponsoring high school. Core general education

interdisciplinary program weaves math, science, English and history classes together in a
dynamic mix of problem-based learning, complemented by frequent field trips and quarterly
research projects assessing the health of the local estuarine environment.
This program requires a year-long commitment in order to complete all coursework. Classes
are taught by a team of faculty and all classes must be taken together. Classes are located
at the Corporate and Continuing Education Center, and are scheduled from 9am to 2:15pm
