How Do EPIC Courses Work?

Each course description includes detailed information about schedules, coursework, time commitments, and more. In general:

• Courses are conducted online and include live group sessions, homework, exercises, and other components.
• Assignments are designed to be flexible and feasible for working professionals. However, valuable learning does require your active engagement and commitment, so please consider your availability when you register. If you need to miss a session, a recording is usually available; contact us to confirm: courses@epicpeople.org
• Enrollment is limited to 10–20 per course cohort.
• All course platforms and tools can be accessed from a browser or mobile app. If a course requires any additional materials, these will be listed in the course description.
• When possible, course schedules alternate season to season or year to year to accommodate participants in different world regions. However, scheduling depends on the instructor’s availability and time zone.
• Participants who successfully complete a course earn an EPIC Badge, part of the Open Badge system of accreditation. You can share badges on your website, LinkedIn, and other networks.

Diversity and Accessibility

We believe that diversity, pluriversality, and reflexivity are foundational to ethnography and learning. Course video is captioned and transcripts are available, and we try to match diverse abilities. We are happy to arrange payment plans, and a limited number of scholarships are available for some courses.

If you have questions about diversity, accessibility, or whether a course is a good fit for your interests, goals, schedule, or anything else, please contact: courses@epicpeople.org.
