All-inclusive
Our pricing will save you time and money! All meals and activities, transportation, lodging, taxes, tips, and even airfare for foreign courses are included in the course tuition.

Scientifically authentic
You will participate in authentic science with reputable scientific partners. Visiting students spend significant time (usually 5 days to a week) at the research site; this is enough time for students to learn, practice, and improve their data collection skills.

Culturally appropriate
A majority of EPI students are the locals-they participate in the exact same program as the US students.

Academically rigorous
You'll be provided with pre and post course curriculum and resources, daily science and culture lessons while on-course, and a highly trained and qualified instructor staff, many of whom hold masters degrees in science.
