The Adult Basic Education (ABE) GED Program offers instruction to adults who are preparing for the GED test or for college classes. Students at the basic literacy level can also learn to read and write. In addition, Computer Literacy courses, study groups, and computer-aided instruction are available.
Special Requirements
Students registering for GED classes are required to participate in orientation and take the TABE (Tests of Adult Basic Education) test to determine the appropriate course level. This assessment takes approximately three hours to complete.
Students who are enrolled only in GED courses receive most of the same services as other CNM students (for example, library access), but are not eligible for financial aid. Also, students registering for GED classes do not follow the procedures outlined in this catalog for admission and registration. Interested students should contact the School of Adult & General Education at (505) 224-4282 for more information.
Career and Educational Opportunities
The GED courses help students prepare for the GED exam, higher education, job advancement, or personal fulfillment.
