So-Called "No Name" Colleges

This list is weird for CC.

Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College: as you might expect, almost all of the majors are related to agriculture. They don’t have majors like math, English, etc.

Amridge University: affiliated with Church of Christ, mostly only has vocational and Bible-related majors.

Brandman University: has 25 locations and specializes in vocational education for working adults.

Kettering College: affiliated with Seventh-Day Adventist church, mostly only offers vocational healthcare degrees.

Patten University: for-profit.

Western Governors University: seems to be completely online.

(The ones I didn’t mention are mostly small religious schools with relatively limited offerings.)

I’d say these schools are no-name for good reason. They aren’t like Reed or other liberal arts colleges that are discussed frequently here. They offer specific vocational majors and mostly aim to serve students who live nearby. A couple of them seem outright shady.
