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 (Taxation) degree from Golden Gate
is required, students with tax degrees from other schools may be accepted upon approval
of the dean.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Admission to the advanced studies in taxation program is open to those individuals
who have received an MS or MBA in taxation (or an LLM in Taxation) degree from Golden
Gate University.
Please note that some courses taken as part of certificate programs will have prerequisites.
These prerequisites must be satisfied (through transfer of equivalent coursework or
through taking the courses at Golden Gate University) before the certificate courses
can be completed.
