The accounting field is growing quickly and its future job outlook looks favorable. To land a job as an accountant, you usually need at least a bachelor degree. Fortunately, you can earn an affordable online degree and not have to commute to school. Also, most online schools allow you to attend class at your own schedule.

A bachelor’s degree will not only prepare you with the necessary skills to succeed in the workforce. It also prepares you to pass professional certification exams like the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam.

We ranked over 45 regionally accredited online bachelor’s degrees in accounting by tuition cost (ranked from lowest tuition to highest) so you can save money on your education with a low-cost accounting degree program. Also, we noted special features (like business accreditation) if a degree has them.

We believe the list below is the most comprehensive list of accredited, well-rated, inexpensive accounting degrees on the web. But gathering a list of all the degrees is a big endeavor so we may have missed some. Please contact us at thebestdegrees@gmail.com if you see any degrees missing. Thanks!

Also, in our calculations, we assumed zero credits transferred, a full time class load, and a degree completion time of four years.
