On top of that, there are a considerable number of trade schools that offer fast-track entry to many fields.

The Best Value Accounting Bachelor's Degree Schools in Indiana ranking is one of many tools that Course Advisor has developed to help you make your educational decision. Our analysis looked at 29 schools in Indiana to see which bachelor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for accounting students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.

When determining this ranking, we place a high emphasis on the school's quality as well as its sticker price. Even though a college may be affordable, it may not offer value. 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.

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