Hey folks. I'm a high school junior pondering my post-graduation plans. For various reasons, I'm considering online college. Can anyone recommend an easy-to-get into online college that's also regionally accredited?
Sure, I'd be happy to give you some pointers! Accreditation is definitely important—regional accreditation is considered the "gold standard" because credits and degrees earned from these institutions are widely accepted. Now, note that "easy" can be a relative term, but I'll provide some institutions known for having acessible admission standards.
Starting off, Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) has an open admission policy for its online programs, which means they accept any student who applies. They offer a wide range of majors to choose from too!
Another one to consider is Western Governors University (WGU). Admissions are based on the readiness to learn, and they don’t require SAT, ACT, or GPA for admission. They offer degree programs in business, IT, education, and health and nursing.
Lastly, you might look at Capella University. They have a variety of degree tracks and most undergraduate programs do not require ACT or SAT scores.
Just remember that while these schools may have more relaxed admission standards, you will still need to meet the program requirements to graduate. It's all about finding a school and a program that suits your needs! Good luck with your search.
