Hello everyone. I'm in the process of applying to teachers colleges and I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed. Just to have some sure shots, I'm thinking of applying to some less competitive ones too. Can anyone suggest the easiest teachers' colleges to get admitted into? Thanks a lot!
It's important to remember that the "easiest" college to get into may not always be the best fit for you personally. That said, I understand the need to have some less competitive, sure-shot options in your college list. Here are some teacher education programs which are traditionally less competitive but still provide a solid education:
1. Grand Canyon University: Grand Canyon University's College of Education offers various teaching programs which are quite accessible. The university has an acceptance rate of about 73%.
2. Western Governors University: This is an online university which offers a lot of flexibility, making it popular among working adults. WGU's Teachers College offers various online licensure and non-licensure degree programs.
3. University of Southern Mississippi: USM's College of Education & Human Sciences has a fairly high acceptance rate but is still known for its quality programs.
I would also suggest you to look at your local public universities. Often, these institutions have strong education programs, lower tuitions, and relatively high acceptance rates. Additionally, you might want to define what "easy" means to you. Is it a high acceptance rate? Lower GPA and test score requirements? No essays? Your personal definition can help narrow down your search. Always remember, the match and fit of the university are just as important as the acceptance rate.
