Active Courses

Traditional Courses

The EFA’s traditional courses take place over a set number of weeks (usually four to six) and are asynchronous. This means that while you’ll never need to be at your computer at any specific hour, 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.
