Academic Credit - College Level

Students participating in an Earth Explore Adventure, and who have completed the 7th grade or higher by the summer of travel, have the option of taking the program for one or more college credits.  The university level credit is available through Eastern Washington University's Division for International and Educational Outreach.  Complete current course descriptions are available on the EWU International Field Studies website.  Course outlines can be downloaded in pdf format.

Educational options range from a comparison of the student's own culture to other cultures encountered through travel, the use of photography to communicate experiences, and examining different cultures through a study of art and architecture.  Other options in development may include the study of environmental science themes during travel. 

College credit earned through EWU while participating in Earth Explore programs is treated as resident credit, and is fully transferable to colleges and universities nationwide.  Answers to common question about the university credit option can be found here.
