A high school equivalency diploma is a credential awarded through an applicable program or process that recognizes academic knowledge equivalent to a high school education. Depending on the credential and its acceptance, it may help individuals pursue further education, career training, and employment opportunities.
A traditional high school diploma is generally earned by completing the required courses and graduation requirements of a high school. A high school equivalency credential is earned through an alternative pathway by successfully passing subject-area exams that demonstrate high school-level academic knowledge, rather than completing individual courses. The credential awarded and its acceptance depend on the applicable program and the requirements of the receiving institution or organization.
The GED is a specific testing program used to earn a high school equivalency credential. A high school equivalency diploma is a broader term; the available pathways and credential names depend on the applicable state and program. This Alta Career Academy program is separate from the GED testing program. Confirm the exact credential awarded and whether it meets your intended school’s or employer’s requirements before enrolling.
