Adult Education

Arkansas Adult Education provides pathways to higher education through easily accessible centers, staffed with professionals who want you to succeed. Most centers have extended hours to accommodate those who are working. A GED can open doors to new careers and increase your earning potential. Additionally, our programs can help you become more fluent in English, math and reading.

A General Education Diploma (GED) is a high school equivalency diploma. Free GED classes and testing are provided at all of our locations. Classes are offered to anyone 16 years and older who is not enrolled in school. To make an appointment to enter the program, call one of the centers listed to the right.

The SNAP E&T program provides individuals receiving SNAP benefits support and resources to develop self-sufficiency. One-on-one advising sessions identify personal interests and match interests to available support, training, and employment opportunities. The SNAP E&T program hosts a wide variety of partnerships in the College, community, and state.

In person meetings are available in Berryville, Harrison, Huntsville, Jasper, and Leslie. Telephone and Zoom conferencing are also provided. Student walk-ins are welcome at room # M171 (near the Bradley Center) on bg真人游戏注册 - South campus.  All services are available to students and the public.

Brush Up is designed for people entering college or who want more training to "brush up" on their skills. These courses are self-paced and individualized to the specific needs of the adults and the training they are seeking. There are three areas of concentration:

• Mathematics — includes a review of whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percents, geometry and algebra
  
• English — includes grammar and writing skills
  
• Reading — includes a self-paced, individualized course with vocabulary building, comprehension improvement and critical thinking.

This course is for adults 18 years of age and older whose native language is not English. Students will experience an improved use of the English language. For those seeking help with reading and math, Basic Skills classes are also available. Placement tests are available to help in determining the level of instruction. Students use computer-assisted instruction using the newest, most effective software.
