A high school diploma requires that students pass a certain number of courses in specific subjects and pass all required Regents exams. No specific classes are required to earn a GED (General Educational Development) credential, but students must pass a GED exam that tests high school-level knowledge in five subjects. Many colleges and employers accept a GED certification instead of a high school diploma, but many prefer a high school diploma because it is a more valuable credential. There are schools and programs that will help you earn whichever certification is right for you. If you complete your studies at a YABC or a Transfer School, you will earn a high school diploma. A full-time or part-time GED program will prepare you to pass the GED exam.
