General Educational Development (GED) Preparation and Testing
The General Educational Development (GED) program is designed to assist
the non-high school graduate in obtaining a high school equivalency
diploma by successfully taking the GED test. We offer an
in-depth review course entitled "GED Preparation" to
assist students in
passing the GED test and obtaining a high school
equivalency diploma.
The course includes 42 hours of classroom training with an intensive study of literature, English usage, essay writing, science, and mathematics as they appear on the GED test. This program is open to persons 18 years of age and older.
Contact the Continuing Education office for class scheduling information.
