When hands-on learning across North America is paired with optional coursework, students can build their resumes, get a jumpstart on high school or college educational credit (at a fraction of the usual cost!), and stand out on college applications. Plus, educators unlock unique professional development opportunities that can count toward recertification and salary advancement.

Learners will gain access to their course 90 days before the departure of their tour.
There are required pre-travel assignments in addition to ones that learners complete during and after tour.
Official transcripts are available upon successful course completion.
Courses are taught online by EF’s certified instructors.
Assignments allow learners to explore their own interests and passions in exciting ways.

COURSES
Every EF Explore America trip is designed with our proven educational method, honed over 60 years. The EF Method enhances classroom learning through immersive, hands-on experiences—from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to the rim of the Grand Canyon—that build essential skills for students' futures. And its impact extends far beyond the days spent traveling. Our academic courses are also intentionally aligned with the EF Method, providing structured pre-, on-, and post-tour coursework to ensure learning continues after you return home.
PARTNERSHIPS
EF | Nobel Prize Museum Global Citizen Certificate
Middle and high school students traveling across North America can also earn a certificate from EF and the Nobel Prize Museum to use on their LinkedIn, resumes, and more. When students successfully complete a multimedia project that addresses a tour-related prompt, they are awarded the certificate and their projects are displayed in a digital gallery.
The certificate can be earned in two ways:
Complete the project as part of the high school or undergraduate courses, receiving both the EF | Nobel Prize Museum Global Citizen Certificate and academic credit.
Complete the project without taking part in the high school or college credit courses.
Students have until two months past their return date to submit their project.

PARTNERSHIPS
Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) is EF’s school of record for the undergraduate and graduate-level courses. These courses offer more affordability for students and families, as they’re priced at less than half the average cost of in-state tuition at most public U.S. four-year institutions. Both EF and SNHU are accredited institutions.
