Description

Prepare for success:

The EF Accelerated College Degree Program allows students who haven’t yet graduated from high school to earn both a high school diploma and an associate’s degree in the United States. The program guarantees you successful entry to a college degree program upon completion.

Personalized program:

In the first phase of the EF Accelerated College Degree Program, you’ll follow a personalized program at EF Seattle to enhance your fluency, from beginner to advanced, while strengthening your English and academic writing skills. In the second phase, you’ll study alongside American students for two years, earning both a high school diploma and an associate’s degree at one of our partner colleges: Green River College, Seattle Central College, Pierce College, or Bellevue College.

You’ll graduate at least one year earlier than your classmates back home. After completing your associate’s degree, you can transfer your credits toward a full bachelor’s degree, accelerating your path to academic and career success. A University Pathways Advisor will guide you throughout the program, helping you select your academic discipline, apply your credentials, and tailor the program to meet your unique needs and aspirations.

Guaranteed university placement:

Students who successfully complete our program are guaranteed entry into one of our partner universities in the US.
