The award-winning series, GED Connection, is broadcast over UNC-TV each semester and helps adults prepare for the new General Educational Development (GED) test. Students learn to interpret and analyze reading passages, write clearly and effectively, and solve everyday problems in basic math and science. Settings and subject matter are taken from real life situations to help adults use the tools of a basic education to be better prepared for life at home and on the job.

English As A Second Language (ESL)—UNC-TV broadcasts Crossroads Café and other culturally diverse series each semester to teach English to speakers of other languages. These series blend cultural understanding and language skill building to depict the backgrounds, challenges and struggles that impact ESL learners in everyday work and home situations.

Telecourses

Through special programs integrating video, print materials and an on-campus instructor, you can earn college credit, and even a degree, in the comfort of your own home. UNC-TV broadcasts telecourses on the 11 stations of our statewide network in association with the North Carolina Telecourse Consortium. These telecourses are available at a time that fits your busy schedule and are a popular option for people who find it impossible or inconvenient to travel to a campus for regularly scheduled classes. If you have digital cable or can access digital services, UNC-ED broadcasts telecourses 24 hours a day.

Through Going the Distance, you an earn your college degree through telecourses. The Going the Distance project offers both entry level and advanced telecourses that allow adult learners to earn a college degree. UNC-TV and participating telecourse colleges continue to expand the program each year.
