The Best Value Business Administration & Management Graduate Certificate 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 8 schools in Indiana to see which graduate certificate programs offered the best value experiences for business administration 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.
