Basic Education For Adults

Basic Education for Adults information for students

Basic Education for Adults (BEdA) programs teach foundational skills — reading, writing, math, technology and English language — so adults can move through college and into high-demand jobs. The programs are designed for adults with academic skills below high school completion or who need to improve their English language skills.

The goal is to advance students quickly and purposefully toward degrees and certificates. Strategies move the goal line from passing the GED®, to graduating from college and starting careers.

The programs offer a life-changing opportunity for adults to succeed as students, employees, parents and citizens.
