Grace College receives recognition for accounting program

AccountingEdu.org has recognized Grace College as the most effective and efficient accounting program among all private colleges and universities in Indiana.

The organization – which analyzes cost per credit hour with Uniform Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Examination pass rates – selected Grace as the best private school option in the state due to its affordability and graduates’ exam success.

Not only did Grace outpace all other Indiana schools, but its CPA exam pass rate was the third-highest among all colleges and universities nationwide on AccountingEdu.org.

In 2017, more than 70% of Grace College graduates passed the CPA exam on their first try.  Grace’s cost per credit hour is $826.

“We’re honored to receive this recognition from AccountingEdu,” said Dr. Roger Stichter, Grace College professor of accounting.  “Our accounting program easily allows students to graduate in four years with the needed 150 credit hours to sit for the CPA exam, and their results are promising.  Our graduates’ high pass rates are an encouragement to prospective students and families looking for affordable, quality education,” he said.

Grace College offers a BA and BS in accounting at its Winona Lake campus.
