ADULT BASIC EDUCATION (ABE) provides basic skills instruction in reading, writing, and math to adult learners functioning below the ninth-grade level. Individual instruction is based on the students entry-level assessment scores and personal needs.

COLLEGE AND CAREER ACCESS PROGRAM (CCAP) is an instructional program in reading, writing, and math for students desiring to enter college but whose placement scores fall below the required college placement standards. This program was developed through a partnership with Arkansas Department of Higher Education and the Arkansas Adult Education Division. GED or high school graduates who come to UAHT and score at or below set entrance scores and require reading or math for their degree will be required to complete their reading and/or math remediation through the CCAP program. Students may co-enroll in college courses as long as there is no duplication of the courses.

COMPUTER LITERACY provides an introduction to the operation of the computer; basic computer terminology; and uses and applications, including a brief introduction to word processing, spreadsheets, and database management. It is an independent, self-paced study.

DISTANCE LEARNING
Our new distance learning program uses a Web-based program that allows students the flexibility and convenience of studying outside the traditional classroom setting. Online preparation of the GED test, computer basics and training, and many other courses are offered to students working online. All courses are free. Students may attend traditional classes while engaging in distance learning away from school.

GENERAL ADULT EDUCATION (GAE) is instruction for adults functioning between 9th and 12th grade levels. The purpose of these classes is to assist individuals in improving their educational skills, preparing for the General Educational Development (GED) Tests, or preparing for postsecondary standardized entrance exams. The Arkansas GED Testing Program serves all Arkansans who are 16 years or older, not enrolled in or graduated from high school, and who meet other state requirements regarding residency and testing eligibility. The GED credential is based on four areas. The test covers Reasoning through Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Mathematics. The GED test is designed to measure academic skills and knowledge in subjects that are learned during four years of high school. Before taking the GED test in Arkansas, students must take and pass the official GED Practice Test (GED Ready test) through an approved Adult Education Center or GED Testing Center. If you need additional instruction, you can enroll in an adult education program in or near your community.
