School or program name

Online with no mandatory campus visits

Only online programs whose official page states that no campus visit or residency is required.

Degree

Exact degree

Accounting degree or business degree with accounting

A major or concentration keeps its real degree, e.g. MBA — Accounting Concentration.

Subject

Mapped only from official curriculum evidence.

Entry route (master's and combined)

Programs for accounting graduates, conversion programs for non-accounting graduates, open entry, and accelerated or integrated bachelor's + master's programs.

Associate track

From the college’s own wording. No applied degree is assumed to transfer.

Institution type

Location

City (optional)

Where the school (or delivering campus) is. For online programs this is not where you must live.

Format & attendance

Delivery

Class schedule (online)

Study intensity

Internship

Start term

Published duration

Conditional minimums (“as few as…”) do not count as the program length.

Accreditation

Supplemental accounting accreditation on record

A separate accounting accreditation (for example AACSB accounting) for the program or its unit. Business-school accreditation does not count, and absence says nothing about quality.

Business-school accreditor

Accreditation of the business school or program, as shown on the profile with its exact unit.

Institutional accreditor

Cost, funding & deadlines

Residency fee category

Matches programs that publish a rate in that category. Online students are not assumed to pay the same rate.

Published tuition

Matches only programs that publish tuition on that basis. Per-credit, per-year and whole-program figures are never compared.

Verified scholarships or funding

Scholarships, assistantships or service scholarships published officially. Loans do not count; service scholarships carry obligations.

Deadline

Order

Clear all

Unknown never counts as a match: a program without verified tuition is not “under $X”, and an unverified attendance policy is not “no campus visits”.
