The Walsh College Master of Science in Taxation (MST) program is for tax professionals interested in gaining comprehensive and practical knowledge of tax law, tax accounting, tax research, as well as tax methodology and procedures. Our program is among the most respected in the nation for its preparation of tax professionals. Walsh’s tax library is among the finest in Michigan with a specialized collection that makes tax research as easy and as convenient as possible.
As an MST student, you may specialize in financial and estate planning, corporate tax, small business taxation or elect not to specialize at all. You will be able to choose from more than 14 different electives.
The MST curriculum is continually reviewed and revised to ensure that students are receiving relevant, updated information that will create marketable skills in a fast-paced business environment.
Opportunities for Employment
Taxes are one of the certainties of life. As long as the government continues to collect taxes, there will be a need for tax professionals. Public accounting, consulting, financial institutions, law firms, and corporations recruit MST graduates. Attorneys and CPAs may find that the MST credential furthers their careers.
Program Format
To earn an MST degree from Walsh College, students must complete 13 to 14 courses, totaling 36 to 39 semester credit hours, depending on prior business course work. New students without an introductory tax course at the undergraduate level will be required to take a three-credit-hour foundation course, TAX 593. Advanced standing credit, not to exceed 12 semester credit hours, may be awarded toward the MST degree for equivalent graduate course work completed at another institution. A minimum of 24 hours must be taken in residence at Walsh College.
