Community Colleges for GED Graduates in Atlanta

Many high school students in Atlanta opt to take the GED (General Education Development) exam, which is a high school equivalency exam. While many state and private universities require a high school diploma to enroll, a student who earns a GED may opt to attend a community college and then either earn a technical degree or transfer to a university after earning the basic core credits. In Atlanta there are three community colleges that accept GED applicants and are a great way for GED graduates to continue their education.
  1. Atlanta Technical College
