General Education Development (GED)

GED preparation is available for students who are studying to pass the battery of GED tests.  Instruction in reading, writing, and math is available in the classroom or by distance education.  GED preparation courses are available at the following BMCC locations:  Pendleton, Hermiston, Milton-Freewater, Boardman, Enterprise, Wallowa, and John Day.

Students earn the GED certificate when they receive passing scores on the five parts of this standardized exam. A school release is required before an individual under eighteen years of age may attempt the test. Information on testing and school release may be obtained from the BMCC testing center in Pendleton at (541) 278-5931.  Students earning a GED may participate in the BMCC commencement exercises held in June.
