GENERAL EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT (GED)
GED classes are offered by WCC both on and off campus. Students are assessed with a Practice GED Test which qualifies them to take the Official GED Test offered twice per month at WCC.
This program is an excellent way for adults 18 and older to find their way back into the system of better paying jobs and higher education. Millions of adults have earned their GED which is accepted at most colleges and universities.
Your future is calling. By completing the GED test, you can answer that call. Complete the GED test by the end of 2013, and then go to college, a better job, the respect you deserve, and the accomplishment of earning your high school diploma.
