Student and Volunteer Success Stories

“The GED program changed my life. I dropped out of high school my sophomore year of high school due to life circumstances and as I got older and entered adulthood it felt impossible to ever go back. But, I did and I haven't stopped since! The GED program at SWOCC made it easy to overcome my anxieties and push myself to succeed. I have finished my Associate's Degree at SWOCC, and am earning my bachelors in business administration, specializing in entrepreneurship and innovation."

“The fact that I was able to benefit from the classes online was a lifesaver, considering I live miles away from the campus. They provide numerous additional external help sources like GED flashcards, practice tests, web links and videos explaining the subjects further, pre-recorded classes in case you can't make it to class or missed something during the class, the list goes on. … Everything you need is there, all you have to do is take it and use it. You won't feel lost nor alone. Best academic program that ever happened to me."
