"Many different types of schools are represented in the rankings," said Dee Barizo, editor of Accounting Degree Review. "There are public and private schools. There are nonprofit and for-profit institutions. Some schools have all their programs online. These schools tend to have very large online enrollments. Others only have a few programs online and they have much lower numbers of online students as a result. Some schools do not have programmatic accreditation but others are accredited by top accrediting organizations including AACSB."
Dee Barizo continued, "This is great news for prospective accounting students. Not only can they save time and gain flexibility and convenience from online learning, but they have many different low cost options to choose from for their education needs."
