Taxation Online, MTax
Through the MTax Online, the George W. Daverio School of Accountancy will offer its Master of Taxation degree directly to students’ desktop computers with courses delivered live via a modern, highly efficient and robust synchronous tool. The tool provides the capability to deliver highly interactive classes with video. The program, referred to for administrative purposes as the MTax Online, will serve professional development and graduate education needs of individuals with an interest in taxation in professional accounting and consulting firms, law firms, corporations, and government agencies. Students will complete the entire program (30 credits) in 15 to 18 months (in ten-week terms) and receive the same Master of Taxation degree as students attending the program on campus. Students will be required to attend and participate in at least 65% of classes to receive credit and must take examinations under faculty supervision. All final examinations will be proctored by a reputable center.
To be admitted to the MTax Online, students must have at least an undergraduate degree in accounting or a J.D. Students without either of these qualifications must complete ACCT 601 Financial Accounting and ACCT 627 Federal Taxation with grades of B or better prior to admission. Students may be permitted to substitute a comprehensive individual taxation course or a comprehensive business entity tax course for ACCT 627.
