Salaries for tax professionals, as with all professions, depend on the level of experience and years in the field. Many of our students who received entry-level positions started out at approximately $56K.

What is the demand for tax professionals?

The demand for our MS tax students has been and continues to be extremely high. This level of demand is evidenced by the 95-100 percent successful placement of our full-time tax students who begin their course studies in August and are working in the tax profession as early as six months later.

Why should I choose GGU?

Our program is designed for both the current tax professional and students seeking entry-level positions in the field of taxation. We personally advise and design degree-completion plans for all our students. The courses are a combination of tax theory and practice with much of the course materials having been written by our faculty members.

Our adjunct faculty members are hired for their expertise in the courses they teach. All our faculty members hold advanced tax degrees (MS tax, LLM (tax)). Some of the faculty members have even taken courses or have graduated from our program and know the quality that we expect not only from our students, but the faculty as well.

From San Francisco to Los Angeles and Seattle, all our sites are located in the midst of financial and business districts creating the ideal learning environment. Because of our location, we are able to build and strengthen relationships with the nearby firms, many of which already have their tax professionals taking courses with us.
