MS in Taxation

The Master of Science in Taxation is a 54-credit program; additional prerequisites of up to nine credits in economics and quantitative methods may be required. The Master of Science in Taxation is designed for the following individuals who seek careers in taxation:

• Professional accountants who wish to expand their proficiency in taxation and at the same time obtain a graduate degree in the field.
• Liberal arts graduates who wish to earn a Master’s degree in Business with a specialization in Taxation.
• Other business professionals and lawyers who wish to become expert in taxation.

For students who have had no formal business and accounting education, the MS in Taxation includes a core of business courses that incorporates the common body of knowledge required by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), of which Fordham is an accredited member. Professionals who have had business and accounting courses may have met the prerequisites and may be entitled to waivers.

The Program Prerequisites and required core business courses for the MS in taxation are the same as those for the MBA in Accounting & Taxation.
