Adult Education

Adult education programs are designed to meet the needs of a diverse student population. This population includes students ranging in age from 18 to senior citizens. Students come from all walks of life, bringing with them a diversity of cultures, needs, and goals. At the North Campus the Adult Education Department is composed of the following programs:

Adult Basic Education (ABE)
General Education Development (GED)
Adult High School (AHS)

ABE provides instruction for adults whose academic functioning ranges between grade levels 0-8.9 as measured by the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE). Pre-GED classes give these same students with beginning-level GED specific instruction. For workforce readiness skills, Career Breakthrough is a course in which students learn career decision skills and plan vocational or post secondary education. GED classes prepare students to take the GED test, the successful completion of which awards a high school equivalency diploma. AHS classes provide individual credits in high school courses leading to a standard high school diploma. In addition to ABE, GED, and AHS, Adult Education also provides Vocational Preparatory Instruction (VPI) and College Preparatory Instruction that remediates students in certain skill areas to prepare them for entry into college vocational or college credit programs.
