EA Tours Prepares Students for College Through Educational Credit-based Travel

BROOKSVILLE, Fla., May 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- EA Tours, a national leader in custom-designed educational travel, is offering college-level academic credits through its various domestic and international tours.

Founder and President of EA Tours, Tom Barnette, explains, "While many may know us as a company who designs exciting student tours, we have always put our students' education first. In addition to learning beyond the books and experiencing real world history, many of our students are eligible to earn college credits, without ever having set foot on campus." 

For over three decades, EA Tours has been designing custom student tours and educational trips "your way."  From homeschool and high school students to college-level students, EA Tours customizes travel itineraries to adhere to the desired educational outcome.

EA Tours has the ability to offer college credit through numerous humanities-based programs, permitting high school students to travel and learn at a college level before applying to the college of their choice. Many academic credits will seamlessly transfer over to other schools and/or colleges, although EA Tours advises that not all academic-credit based travel programs are eligible at all schools. Some programs may also require a certain academic standing to participate.

Barnette continues, "Originally, EA Tours offered college credits to college students through business seminars within the liberal arts programs of various universities--- which we continue to organize today.  However, we've just recently expanded our academic outreach by permitting high school students to get a head start on their college experience – and by helping high school teachers and parents offer real-world learning not otherwise offered through their schools." 

As a nationally ranked student tour operator, EA Tours has relationships worldwide with the best hotels, local travel services and the most knowledgeable guides to ensure each custom-designed educational tour is a success.
