Eugene Lang College welcome applications from individuals who have been schooled at home. They are considered for admission on the same basis as applicants who attended high school. If you were home schooled, the following guidelines help you determine your eligibility for admission: 1) The Admission Committee does not require preparation in every academic area, but your education should include substantial work in English, history, social science, a foreign language, mathematics, and science; 2) You must provide the equivalent of a high school transcript with course or subject titles, duration of study for each title, content of study for each tile, and an assessment of performance or "grade." Preferably, the courses you completed at home were part of a curriculum developed and evaluated by a nationally recognized diploma granting organization or agency. If you are not connected with such an organization, you must obtain and submit a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) as confirmation of completing a generally acceptable secondary school curriculum.
