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 a taxation-related MS, MBA or LLM degree from Golden Gate University is highly preferred, students with tax degrees from other schools may be accepted upon approval of the dean.
