Online Accounting Degrees

Programs that the school itself offers online. We record campus visits, residencies, internships and live-session requirements separately, so "online" never hides an in-person obligation. Online listings sit under the school's location: that is not a residency requirement, and it does not mean every state's residents may enroll.

Listed alphabetically by school. This directory is not a ranking. What we list

Online pathways

Specialist online pages (taxation, forensic accounting and others) are published only where verified coverage supports them; until then use the subject pages and filter by online format.

Attendance, as published

Online coursework does not always mean no travel. We count only what each program's official page states; everything else stays "not verified". An online application or a few remote electives do not make a degree online.

Ranges mix in-state, out-of-state and all-student rates and exclude fees; they are not a cost estimate, and online students do not all pay the same rate. Compare programs on the same basis in Compare.

What online study can require

  • Scheduled live sessions in some programs — profiles show the time zone where it is published.
  • Proctored exams, in person or online, where the school requires them.
  • Internships, practicums or cooperative placements completed near you, where the program requires them.
  • For doctoral study, residencies and a dissertation defense, often on campus.

Accreditation, in one paragraph

Every school here holds institutional accreditation recorded by the U.S. Department of Education. Business accreditation (AACSB, ACBSP, IACBE) and accounting accreditation are separate, program- or unit-level records and are never inferred from one another. None of them tells you a program is online — we verify delivery on the school's own pages.

Accreditation explained

Guides for online students

Online degree questions

Are online degrees different from campus degrees?

Usually the awarded degree is the same; what differs is how you attend. Check each profile for campus visits, residencies, in-person labs, proctored exams and live-session times — we list them separately and only as published.

Does “online” mean I never have to visit campus?

Not necessarily. A program is shown as having no mandatory campus visits only when its official page says so. Otherwise the requirement is “not verified”, which is not the same as “none”.

Can I enroll from any state?

Online programs are listed under the school's location, which is not a residency requirement. Schools publish state-authorization rules separately; some cannot enroll residents of every state, and international eligibility varies. Check the school's disclosure for your state.

Can I start an online bachelor's without college credits?

Some programs admit first-year students; others are degree-completion programs that require prior credits or an associate degree. Each profile shows the entry route as the school states it. A completion program's remaining time is not the length of the whole bachelor's degree.

Is there an online PhD in accounting?

Only where the university itself presents the doctorate as online. A general online-learning page is not evidence of an online PhD, and doctoral programs commonly require residencies or an in-person defense. We do not list an online PhD without that evidence.

Does an online accounting degree make me eligible to become a CPA?

A degree, eligibility to sit the CPA Exam and a CPA license are three separate things, and the requirements are set by each state board of accountancy. Some programs publish statements about how their coursework relates to a jurisdiction; we show those with the jurisdiction and source, never as a promise. See the guides on accounting degrees and CPA requirements.
