MS in Taxation
| |
The Master of Science in Taxation is a 10-course, 30-credit* program, comprised of seven required taxation courses and three tax/accounting electives.
This program is designed for professional accountants, attorneys and business professionals who wish to acquire expertise in taxation and obtain a graduate degree in the field.
This program can also supplement an undergraduate degree in Public Accounting to meet the 150-credit-hour educational requirement for the NYS CPA examination. However, since undergraduate accounting programs vary greatly across the country and the world, students should visit www.nasba.org in order to determine whether this program in conjunction with the baccalaureate degree in accounting would qualify them for the New York State CPA examination. There is a minimum residency requirement of 30 credits (10 courses).

TX 7010 Federal Research and Procedure

*SUPPLEMENTAL COURSEWORK/PREREQUISITES
Based on feedback from tax partners and executives, as well as recent alumni, we have added prerequisites to the MS in Taxation curriculum:
- candidates who have not had any professional training or academic coursework using basic U.S. tax concepts, e.g., have not taken an U.S. Internal Revenue Code (IRC) based course in their undergraduate studies are required to take
AC 7184 Individual and Business Entity Taxation (3 credits)
- candidates whose native language is not English and who have not completed the full four years of an undergraduate program in the U.S. or U.K. are required to take
MS 809A Advanced Presentations and Public Speaking (1.5 credits)
MS 809B Advanced Corporate Communications for Accounting and Taxation Professionals (1.5 credits)
Individual and Business Entity Taxation and both 1.5-credit courses should be taken during the first semester. Although this increases the number of credits and courses required for the MS degree, these courses add significant value.
For students who are required to take the Individual and Business Entity Taxation class, the program is 33 credits.
For students who are required to take the two advanced communications mini-courses, the program is 33 credits.
For students who are required to take Individual and Business Entity Taxation and the two advanced communications mini-courses, the program is 36 credits.
