Adult Basic Education

The Basic Education for Adults (BEdA) department is an affordable and supported pathway to college. BEdA offers a variety of programs for individuals who wish to improve their basic reading, writing, math, conversation, and employment skills. BEdA students receive comprehensive career pathway planning and navigation support from Transitional Studies Navigators and Advisors. Programs include English as a Second Language, Adult Basic Education, and High School Completion, vocationally focused basic skills programs, and programs designed for college-bound and Career Training participants.

Schedules include both day and evening classes. Students between the ages of 16-18 must obtain formal high school releases. Individuals with F-1, M-1, and J-1 visas are not eligible for federally funded Adult Basic Skills services. Before enrolling, students are required to attend an information session and complete a skills assessment.
