A global curriculum, simplified

We develop custom, scalable short-term study abroad programs that help our institutional partners maximize travel and skill-building opportunities for students of all backgrounds.

Our programs are informed by close collaboration with academic institutions, curated by educators, and backed by a global network and world-renowned partnerships—and our outcomes assessment and course integration tools ensure that your program always aligns to your goals.

Academic assessment and integration tools

When learners study abroad, every moment is an opportunity for growth. With EF College Study, those moments venture into personal, academic, and professional development.

With our programs, you’ll have the support of educators and travel experts, gain access to our new Global Competencies Assessment, and help students build critical skills for an increasingly connected world—all within a structured learning framework.
