Article lists top 30 master's accountancy programs under $22K per year

"Master's degree" might not always be synonymous with "cheap," but there's good news for students who wish to enter a graduate accountancy program and not break the bank. Educational website Masters in Accounting Degrees has ranked their top 30 graduate programs for accounting, all under $22,000 per year.

The website ranked their top 5 value graduate programs at the following schools:

1. University of Texas - Dallas

2. University of Central Arkansas

3. Indiana University - Bloomington

4. College of William and Mary

5. University of Illinois - Chicago

The least costly program, found at the University of Texas - Dallas, costs just over $8,000 per year, while the most expensive, Temple University's, costs $20,670.

"In our view, these are, quantitatively, the best programs of their kind that you can attend for less than $22,000 per year," stated Masters in Accounting Degrees editor Deena Berezin. "In the world of accounting degrees, they represent tremendous value."

The editors considered student-to-faculty ratios, high average GPAs for undergrads and high numbers of students working in accounting jobs by graduation in the construction of their list.
