Homeschooling teenagers should contact the colleges and universities they would like to attend and ask about their admission policies. In a 1994 telephone poll conducted by the author of this brochure, a select group of admissions officers from large universities and colleges indicated willingness to consider applications from homeschooled students. In addition, all of the officers said that they accept standardized admission test scores -- along with other material showing experience in learning and collaborating with others -- in the absence of a regular high school transcript. Although admissions officers do not monitor this practice, some estimated that they admit a handful of undergraduates each year without a transcript. Interested teenagers should ask their local homeschool association for the names of college students who were homeschooled and would not mind offering advice about the college application process.

I would like to say that I'm a prime example that homeschool kids can get into college. I was homeschooled from 2nd grade to graduation. I started college in the 9th grade so that I could get a jump start on my degree. I'm majoring in Health Information Management. While I was in highschool I was only allowed to take so many classes toward my degree but what little bit I took helped me get finished sooner. I only ended up going a year to college instead of two. I also want to mention that I did receive a diploma from American School instead of a GED.

Yes, they absolutely can. From our experience, they also score higher on their tests a lot of the times.

If you want to home school your children while your in college yes, its possible. If you want to be homeschooled for college, no you have to have a an accredited college give you a degree, you can get a degree at home over the computer.

Actually, you can achieve your degree in much less time if you do it online. This is because you can go on your own pace, and on your own schedule. You end up spending a lot less money on your college education this way too.

It must be possible because Nathan Freudenthal Leopold, Jr. had already finished college when the infamous Leopold and Loebmurder took place--The Crime of the Century--and he was only 19 years old.

It's not necessarily important to have a college degree. There are good paying careers that don't require one. The main issue that most people see is because of the money you can acquire. College degrees allow you to be paid a higher salary (and differential in each level of degree) in comparison to a High School diploma. Medical careers can pay up to $300,000. Another thing is the prestige you gain from having a degree. People will find you intelligent and persevering in goals. Lastly, you have the confidence that you pushed for something so important. To know you went ahead of other people in life by obtaining a degree, and the hard work that was required in getting it, can be a very satisying thing.

Yes, of course! In fact, (and this IS true, I promise, it was on AOL), this eleven year old boy was homeschooled his whole life and went into college when he was eleven!

Yep! Most colleges and universities have no problem accepting homeschool students and even adjust their requirements to help homeschool kids get in without official transcripts or diplomas.
