Traditional Courses
The EFA’s traditional courses take place over a set number of weeks (usually four to six) and are asynchronous. You’ll never need to be at your computer at any specific hour, but you will have weekly deadlines for submitting homework assignments. Traditional courses include direct interaction with your instructor, as well as a student forum. These EFA classes are a great fit for you if you want in-depth feedback and peer support and can dedicate at least three to six hours per week while class is in session.
If the course you’re interested in is completely booked, fill out this form to join the waitlist.
