The University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana Adult Education Department offers General Adult Education (GAE) instruction to assist individuals in improving their educational skills, preparing for the General Educational Development (GED) Tests, or preparing for postsecondary standardized entrance exams. The GAE course is for adults functioning between 9th and 12th grade levels.

 The Arkansas GED Testing Program serves all Arkansans who are 16 years or older, not enrolled in or graduated from high school, and who meet other state requirements regarding residency and testing eligibility. The GED credential is based on four areas. The test covers Reasoning through Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Mathematics. The GED test measures academic skills and knowledge in subjects learned during four years of high school. Before taking the GED test in Arkansas, students must take and pass the official GED Practice Test (GED Ready test) through an approved Adult Education Center or GED Testing Center.

 Additional adult education services at UAHT include a college and career access program, English as a second language, a national career readiness certificate, a WAGE job readiness program, computer literacy, and more.
