Graduate Certificate in Advanced Studies in Taxation
A specialized graduate certificate designed to help tax professionals with a graduate tax degree to update and broaden their knowledge.
ProGRAM Highlights
This graduate certificate program is aimed at working tax professionals who have already earned an MS or MBA in taxation, but feel like they want to remain on the cutting edge of tax law. The flexible schedule allows working professionals to pursue their degree at their own pace: students need to complete the 12 semester units over a 5 year period. While an MS, MBA in taxation, or LLM (tax) degree from Golden Gate is required, students with tax degrees from other schools may be accepted upon approval of the dean.
