Master of Taxation

The curriculum for the Master of Taxation has been co-developed with tax practitioners from both public accounting firms and corporate tax departments to equip you with the knowledge, skills and hands-on experience that will advance your career in tax.

You can earn the Master of Taxation in one year as a full-time student, or two years as a part-time student. The program starts in the summer and includes 45 credits of online courses, plus required weekend-long synchronous residencies once per quarter; in-person attendance is recommended. The Master of Taxation concludes with a capstone project based on an in-depth, real-world case study.

• Full-time: 12 months
• Part-time: 24 months

We also offer the flexibility of a fall program start for part-time students. Schedule an advising appointment with Julie Hackett for additional information.

MT Schedule

Designed with a summer start to align with industry recruiting cycles, as well as room for paid internships during tax season, the MT program places your new career in tax front and center.

Orientation: June

The full-day orientation will be held in June for all entering students. The date will be updated here once confirmed. The summer term residency will occur in June during which the first session of each summer term class will take place. Attendance is required at core orientation events for entering students and at the initial class of each course unless an exception is granted by the Academic Director based on extenuating personal circumstances.

Weekend Residencies

Each term taxation students are invited to campus for a weekend residency, an opportunity to connect with classmates, faculty and staff and network with industry professionals and employers. The following dates are subject to change.

• Winter Residency: January 
• Spring Residency: April

Sample Full-Time Schedule

The summer start date gets you on track toward a strong interview season which begins in September. By that time you will have completed a full quarter of the program, gained valuable expertise, and built relationships with instructors who can speak to your potential as an employee or intern.

Winter and spring terms have been structured to accommodate internships and practicums during tax season.

Sample Part-Time Schedule

Part-time students will take a total of 12 electives over the course of two years.
