The immersive, full-time program can be completed in as little as nine months. And because we want to help you make the most of your time, your coursework will prepare you for the CPA exam and also count toward your CPA education requirements.

- Tax track students will cover subjects including corporate taxation, technology for accountants, tax research, and taxation of real estate transactions—plus elective options such as business law, estates and trusts, federal tax policy, and state and local taxation
