Absolutely, there are plenty of accessible colleges in Massachusetts that offer robust programs. Several options include:

1. Salem State University - Salem State has a reputation for accessibility and a broad array of strong programs , including Business, Education, and Nursing sectors amongst several other options.

2. University of Massachusetts Dartmouth - This is a part of the UMass system, but is less competitive than other campuses like Amherst or Boston. It offers a wide variety of attractive programs including Engineering, Psychology, and Finance.

3. Westfield State University - This public university offers over 40 majors and over 80 concentrations including Criminal Justice, Education, and Business.

4. Bridgewater State University - Known for its Education program, Bridgewater State also offers strong programs in Psychology, Business, and various STEM fields.

5. Fitchburg State University - Fitchburg is also notable for its Education program, and additionally recognized for programs in Business, Nursing and Criminal Justice.

It's important to note that low selectivity doesn't mean these colleges aren't strong academically. They might have less competitive admissions, but each of these could serve as a solid foundation for your post-college career. Always remember to visit campuses (if possible) and do thorough research to make sure a college is the right fit for you. You should look into each college’s ethos, location, size, extracurricular options and specific programs related to your potential major or field of interest.
