Which colleges currently offer direct admissions?

The list is growing faster than a group chat before finals week. Colleges across the country are hopping on the direct admissions trend, especially those looking to reach more students in a streamlined, less stressful way. Schools like Augsburg University, Northern Arizona University, and University of Maryland Global Campus have joined programs through platforms like Niche and the Common App. While Ivy League schools aren’t on board (yet), many public universities and smaller private colleges are leading the charge. The best way to find out? Check the college search platforms you’re using. If a school participates, they’ll likely make it clear—after all, if they want you, they’ll find a way to let you know.
