Education Compass Directory of Colleges, Schools & Universities
Diploma Programs
You may be looking to enter a vocational occupation as quickly and inexpensively as you can. As long as you’ve graduated from high school or hold a GED, a diploma can be earned in as little as six months to a year.
You’ll acquire basic skills, often hands-on, to prepare you for entry-level employment in one of many occupations. General education courses, other than math and English, are not generally required to obtain a diploma. But some schools will allow you to upgrade your diploma to an associate degree later on by taking the necessary general education courses.
The schools listed here are ready to give you all the information you need—quickly and easily—to take the next step.
