The Best Value Accounting Associate Degree Schools in Florida ranking is one of many tools that Course Advisor has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 25 schools in Florida to see which ones offered the best value associate degree programs for accounting students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.

This ranking is not just a list of inexpensive schools. We also consider each school's quality, since we believe a low-quality school may not be a 'bargain' at any price. Specifically, our score for quality is discounted by the published tuition and fees charged by the given college. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The more quality your dollar buys, the better the value.

For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
