Program overview&nbsp;
The EF Accelerated College Degree Program provides students who have not yet graduated from high school with the opportunity to earn a high school diploma and an associate&rsquo;s degree in the United States. The program is divided into two phases: The first phase of study takes place at EF Seattle where you&rsquo;ll strengthen and reinforce your English fluency and academic writing skills. Phase two involves two years of academic study where you&rsquo;ll earn your high school diploma and associate&rsquo;s degree at a partner university. You&rsquo;ll graduate at least one year earlier than your classmates back home &ndash; saving you time and money. After completion of your associate&rsquo;s degree, you may choose to continue your university education by transferring your university credits towards the completion of a full bachelor&rsquo;s degree.
