GED Program
The mission of Norfolk State University
(NSU) is to provide an affordable, high-quality
education for an ethnically and culturally diverse
student population, equipping them with the
capability to become productive citizens who
continuously contribute to a global and rapidly
changing society.
In keeping with our mission, we are
excited about offering a pre-collegiate component
through offering preparatory classes to take the
General Educational Development (GED) test.
The GED test is a national examination
developed by the GED Testing Service of the
American Council on Education . The credential
received for passing the test is widely recognized
by colleges, training schools and employers as
equivalent to a high school diploma.
Qualified instructors will provide one-one
group instructions in all five areas of testing;
writing skills , social studies, science literature
and the arts and mathematics. NSU Community and Outreach Services
would like to support you in reaching your full
potential through this empowering process.
