The Adult & Pre-College Education program is for students and community members who are ready to make a positive change in their lives! We provide information, practice skills, and resources to help participants earn their GED® credential, improve their English language abilities, and brush up on reading, writing, and math skills.

We prepare students for success in their families and communities, the workforce, and future education programs. Services are also provided at our Curry campus in Brookings.

I wasn't raised to value education. My desire to learn and explore was something I had to discover for myself.
The GED program at SWOCC gave me everything I needed to be successful, the tools, the courage, the inspiration, and so much more. I wouldn't be where I am now, and where I'm heading, without this school.
And now, I'm currently finishing up my first year in college! After I earn my associate degree, I plan to pursue a bachelor's degree in science and education. The amazing people at SWOCC helped shape my desire to become a science teacher.
To anyone out there reading this that is considering going back to school I would say: remember you are not alone! Everyone at the college wants to see you succeed and will work with you to ensure you do.
