Taxation
The Master of Science (MS) in Taxation
This program provides concentrated training in taxation. The goals of the program are to prepare graduates for responsible positions in the area of taxation and ultimately for leadership in the marketplace. To accomplish these goals students are provided with the advanced technical and research skills necessary to operate effectively as tax professionals and industry leaders. The program also gives students the necessary background to interpret new developments and remain in the vanguard of the profession. Students can complete the program on a full-time (one year) or part-time basis by taking a carefully chosen sequence of ten courses (30 credits) in cohort groups (see cohort schedules below.) Applicants are not required to possess accounting or general business background to be accepted to the program. An MBA program in taxation is offered as well.
Courses are taught by members of the distinguished faculty of the Zicklin School of Business, experienced practitioners in the field of taxation, and Internal Revenue Service senior managers.
Candidates with an undergraduate degree in accounting and an MBA or MS in taxation may, with certain additional courses, be eligible for a reduction in the professional experience requirement satisfactory to the State Board of CPA Examiners. The program satisfies the upcoming 150-hour CPA licensing requirement for eligible students.
Preliminary Course (3 credits)
Students with appropriate prior course work equivalent to ACC 9110 will be able to waive this requirement. Those who have not completed a similar course should plan to take ACC 9110 during the first half of their MS program.
