Congratulations First off let me congratulate you on stepping up to the plate and finishing your high school diploma. To answer your question, the answer is yes. Go check out: http://www.tomnixon.net/ He's written a book on exactly this subject. That would be the best place to start. Good luck
There are a couple of ways to do this in the very short term, but all of them require you to be in the U.S. Given your user name, I'm not sure that is possible. Feel free to contact me with specifics and we could brainstorm some possibilities. Tom Nixon
Re: Re: Congratulations Tom, It's my pleasure. Thank you for writing such great books on the subject of distance learning. Dr Bear, Dr Levicoff,and yourself have helped distance learners a lot. Your contributions are appreciated!
Thanks to all of you. Escpecially Mr. Philosophy. My problem is that I a m not a resident of US. So, no state can award HS Diploma on basis of college credits. I live in Pakistan. Any other suggestions will be welcomed. However thankyou all of you, I will post here what i found out ast last. Thanks
You have, I believe, two choices. You could do an accredited online high school program (that will take more time than you would like) or you can take the GED test. While not quite a high school diploma, it is accepted by a number of U.S. colleges. The advantage is that the test is available in Pakistan: KARACHI, PAKISTAN #8781 KARACHI, 75600 Phone: 92215823671 Site Code: 8781 GLOBAL EDUCATION FOUNDATION Suite No. 217, 2nd Flr, Plot No. G7, Block 9 ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN #8782 ISLAMABAD, 44000 Phone: 92512272708 Site Code: 8782 US EDUCATION FOUNDATION PAKISTAN HSE 16,STREET 84 G-6/4, ATATURK AVE LAHORE, PAKISTAN#8783 LAHORE CANT., 54792 Phone: 92425722670-2679 Site Code: 8783 LAHORE UNIV. OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCES OPPOSITE SECTOR U.L.C.C.H.S If you were in the U.S., I would recommend something like the California High School Proficiency Exam. The CHSPE, by state law, provides the equivalent of a high school diploma. Even the prestigious University of California system accepts it as valid. In the last several years, there has been an increase of people coming from surrounding states to take the test. Unfortunately, I know of no valid test that will award you a high school diploma (based on the test itself) located outside the U.S. There are many dishonest Internet companies that purport to offer one, though.
