The Adult Education Program at LJC is funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and Lackawanna Junior College to provide educational services to adults who lack a high school diploma or who need to improve their reading, writing, or math skills to be more functional in the workplace. These classes prepare the student to take the GED exam, which certifies the student for the Commonwealth Diploma. Writing skills, social studies, science, literature, and math are the topics covered by the instruction.
Classes meet for six hours each week.
GED tests are scheduled at LJC every six weeks. Adult Basic Education classes are held at the Scranton Area Family Center in the mornings and at LJC during the afternoon hours. These classes are designed to improve the student's basic skills in reading, writing, and math. Classes are small and individualized to meet the most important needs of each student. Computer assisted instruction is available to all students.
