ADULT EDUCATION
The Adult Education program provides adults with the means necessary to improve their education through programs developed uniquely for each individual. Services are available to anyone 16 years or older who is not currently enrolled in another academic institution. Services are free of charge for all eligible North Dakota residents. There is a fee for the actual GED tests.
Programs offered:
GED Study and Testing
The GED prep program helps students to identify which subjects within the GED they need to prepare, and which they can test out. From there, the program is individualized and each student finishes based on their own time schedule and skill level. The GED consists of 4 core tests: Science, Social Studies, Mathematical Reasoning, and Reasoning Through the Language Arts (RLA). The Center has a variety of study material including the GED Ready tests, which are half the questions and half the time of the GED, but provide a GED score, text books and workbooks along with 2 online options. Once a student is enrolled in the program, they have access to all materials at no charge.
Civics Education
In order to receive a credential of GED, all students are required to study for and pass the Civics test. Study material is provided and the Civics testing is free.
Career Awareness
Students are assisted to identify which careers they are interested in as well as what is needed to do in order to complete their professional goals.
Refresher Skills
There is a variety of paper material and online resources available to improve educational functioning skills in the areas of reading, math, and writing.
English as a Second Language (ESL)
