Olympia’s Evergreen State College is among the nation's Top Public Affairs Graduate Schools, according to the latest edition of the Best Graduate Schools published by U.S. News Media Group.

Evergreen's graduate programs with specific focus on public affairs include the Master in Public Administration program and the Master of Environmental Studies program.

 

The Master of Public Administration program offers public policy, public and nonprofit administration, and tribal governance concentrations. Evergreen is the only college in the United States that provides students the option of an MPA with a concentration on tribal governance. The Master of Environmental Studies program integrates the study of the biological, physical and social sciences with public policy.

The 2012 edition of the U.S. News and World Report's Best Graduate Schools book will be available April 5.

And just a little further north in Tacoma, the Center for Health Sciences at University of Puget Sound has been named one of the "Excellent 10" great economic development projects that took place in Pierce County during 2010 by the Economic Development Board of Tacoma-Pierce County.

The center will provide a space for study, research and clinical practice in occupational and physical therapy, exercise science, psychology and neuroscience. The 42,500-square-foot building at the south end of the UPS campus is under construction and will open in time for the new academic year in late August.

These universities are two great reasons to live, work and get an education in Thurston and Pierce counties.
