It's a loaded question for a couple of reasons. We're talking here about accredited colleges. We're talking about four-year colleges. That leaves out many trade schools that use the word "college" in their names. And that leaves out community colleges.

Why leave out community colleges? Most community colleges have an open enrollment policy that allows any high school graduate to enroll.

Campus Grotto recently did a piece on the ten easiest colleges to get into. They said many of the same things I have, but they went on to pick the ten easiest accredited, four year college in the nation to get accepted at. I'm not sure how they made their decisions. There are a few surprises on the list.

The University of Texas in San Antonio ranked 4th. Why they are any easier then other University of (fill in your state) schools, I don't know. But they accept over 99% of their applicants. Two school in Utah made the list, including Weber State University at number 1 (100% acceptance). And tiny King College in Bristol, Tennessee made the list; why King College gets this kind of attention given the scores of other extra-small private colleges starving for students out there is beyond me.

You can see the whole list here.

Campus Grotto makes a point of saying that easy admission doesn't necessary means lower quality of education or make a school easier to graduate from.
