MBA in Taxation

The MBA program in taxation provides the broad-based managerial and tax background as well as the necessary research tools for those who wish to specialize in tax planning and tax counseling. Students who would like a more intensive specialization should consider the MS in taxation program.

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.
