Schools for medical assistants in the Indianapolis area

You see "Request information" only on schools CAAHEP or ABHES accredits, and it sends your request there; we may get paid. The other rows go to each school's own website instead. No school pays us to appear here or to move higher on the list. Sources: IPEDS 2023-24 (prices and graduates) plus the CAAHEP and ABHES directories.

Understanding this list: graduates, prices and accreditation
CAAHEP-accredited program
The medical assisting program itself was checked and approved by CAAHEP. If you finish it, you can take the CMA exam and become a Certified Medical Assistant.
ABHES-accredited school
ABHES gives approval to the entire school. Before relying on the CMA exam, check with the school to see if its medical assisting program is covered as well.
Not CAAHEP or ABHES
Neither group includes the school for medical assisting, yet this is not a judgment on the school itself. Another agency can still accredit the college itself. A CAAHEP or ABHES program is what the CMA exam requires. Other routes, such as work experience, count too for the RMA, CCMA and NCMA exams.
Price
Schools report their own 2023-24 tuition and fees, adding books and supplies where listed. The price covers the whole program, or one full-time year (the local-student rate at public colleges). For every award the school lists, the yearly price stays the same.
Graduates
These are students who completed their studies between July 2023 and June 2024. IPEDS, an annual survey from the U.S. Department of Education, provided the price and graduate data.
