When you have a 99% acceptance rate, you are no different than a community college. However at a CC you stand a change of learning some skills that are marketable in the real world.

This his how they describe themselves on their website:

Innovative Academics

Escape the sequences of disconnected classes and endless prerequisites. Experience a better way of learning with programs that explore the many sides of a theme or topic. Narrative evaluations from faculty replace competitive grades with meaningful feedback.

[Enchante]

Typical "progressive" blather. Obvious lack of academic rigor, substituting kind words in "narratives" for standards and achievements.

So they deplore

"sequences of disconnected classes and endless prerequisites"

Prerequisites are hardly "endless" but are necessary standards if you are to have more advanced classes AT ALL. No prerequisites means everything stays at a mushy introductory level, because no class can assume a fundamental background among students who have already had one or more courses in the subject. Good heavens, I could not bear to be in only classes for which there were no prerequisites!! That suggests an appalling and rudimentary level of education even in the junior and senior years.

“programs that explore the many sides of a theme or topic.”

Except, of course, the CONSERVATIVE side!!! ;)
