Two-year colleges are usually point of entry institutions that have no or very low admission requirements. This is a good thing because it allows everyone to start higher education at an affordable price.

The sad truth is that many either don't have cognitive, financial, or time resources to complete certificates or Associate degrees.

Institutions like this can improve their numbers by denying entry to the marginally qualified.
