EF Accelerated College Pathway Program

Description

Prepare for success Graduate with two credentials:

The EF Accelerated College Pathway Program provides students who have not yet graduated from high school with the opportunity to earn a high school diploma and an associate’s degree in the United States. An associate’s degree is a two-year undergraduate qualification that serves as a stepping stone to a bachelor’s degree or entry-level employment. By following this accelerated path, students can earn both their diploma and degree approximately one year ahead of the standard academic path. The program is divided into two phases. The first phase of study takes place at EF New York, where you’ll strengthen and reinforce your English fluency and academic writing skills. Phase two involves two years of academic study at one of our American partner colleges. You’ll earn your high school diploma and associate’s degree at a partner university.

Accelerate your path to a degree:

You’ll graduate at least one year earlier than your classmates back home — saving you time and money. After completion of your associate’s degree, you may choose to continue your university education by transferring your university credits towards the completion of a full bachelor’s degree.

Experience authentic campus life                                                                                                                                                                           While enrolled in the second phase of the EF Accelerated College Pathway Program, you’ll be living and learning alongside American students as you gain further English fluency and earn your associate’s degree. You’ll choose between studying on the campuses of Green River College, Seattle Central College, Pierce College, or Bellevue College, all of which are located in Washington State. You’ll work closely with your University Pathways Advisor to determine your academic discipline and how best to apply your academic credentials.

Begin your university experience in the US

The program guarantees you successful entry to the third year of a bachelor’s degree program in the US. Through our trusted partnerships with accredited institutions of higher learning, you’ll graduate with the academic qualifications you need to succeed.
