The Best Value Accounting Schools in Maine ranking is one of many tools that Course Advisor has developed to help you make your educational decision. This report analyzed 7 schools in Maine to see which ones offered the best value programs for accounting students.

Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar. 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.
In our regional and nationwide rankings, out-of-state tution and fees are used in our calculations. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
