Where to study after GED®?

Many students are asking where other students are studying after GED®, so we have compiled a short list of where our students have been accepted recently. Of course there are many other institutions not mentioned here that may be willing to accept a GED® as well or you can study internationally as well! We suggest you contact the institution directly before doing your GED® to be sure of their requirements.
