Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Brigham Young University-Idaho so much cheaper than other accounting programs?

BYU-Idaho's $7,131 net cost reflects significant institutional subsidies for students. The private university charges $4,656 for tuition and fees, substantially less than Idaho's public universities which range from $7,388 to $8,816 for in-state students.

How do earnings compare between the cheapest and most expensive programs?

BYU-Idaho graduates earn $47,260 despite having the lowest program costs, while Lewis-Clark State College graduates earn $35,060 with a $12,832 net price. The $12,200 earnings difference shows that program cost doesn't predict salary outcomes in Idaho's accounting market.

Does attending a public university guarantee lower costs for accounting students?

Public universities don't always offer the best value for accounting students in Idaho. BYU-Idaho's $7,131 net cost beats all four public options, even though public schools charge lower sticker prices for in-state residents.
