I don't have a high school diploma, what are my options?

If you don't have a high school diploma, you still have several options for pursuing a bachelor's degree. Your first step is to get an equivalent of high school diploma.

1. GED: The General Educational Development (GED) test is widely recognized and can serve as an equivalent to a high school diploma. It’s a common route for those who didn’t complete traditional high school.
2. HiSET or TASC: These are alternative high school equivalency tests accepted in various states. They are similar to the GED and can also help you meet the educational requirements for college.
3. Adult High School Programs: some community colleges and local adult education centers offer programs where you can earn a high school diploma or an equivalency credential.
4. Some community colleges may allow you to enroll even if you don't have a high school diploma. Completing an associate degree or earning enough college credits can then help you transfer to a four-year university.
5. Also, some universities have programs specifically designed for adult learners or those without traditional high school credentials. These programs might have alternative admissions criteria and may evaluate your work experience and other qualifications.
Find a way to reach out to college admission offices to learn more about their programs for non-traditional students. Make sure you understand well both the requirements to get in and the available options after completing the program.
