CURRICULUM AND SCHEDULES

Through ÎÞÂëרÇø’s varied courses, students examine taxation from multiple perspectives — allowing exploration of how both tax law and accounting affect the field’s ever-changing landscape.

The curriculum consists of six (6) required courses and numerous electives in all areas of taxation.

An LLM student requires a total of 24 credit hours, which consists of six (6) required courses and three (3) electives.

A MT student requires a total of 30 credit hours, which consists of six (6) required courses and six (6) electives.

A student can mix and match electives across practice areas, or opt for an in-depth examination of one specialty area of taxation leading to completion of a Certificate. You can also obtain a stand-alone Certificate without pursuing a full Master’s degree.

All courses are carefully developed for your chosen mode of learning, on-campus or online, and are live and in real time, allowing you to actively participate and learn.
