As one of the graduate tax programs in the nation, the Carlson School Master of Business Taxation program gives you a chance to learn from world-class faculty and work closely with the Twin Cities business community from distinguished professionals with real-life experience and in-depth knowledge of the tax industry. This program helps students acquire a conceptual understanding of taxation and develop technical competence in the practical application of the rules of taxation in business and personal decision making.
Offered only in the evenings, the program accommodates both part-time and full-time students. Historically, more than 80 percent of students are employed in the business community and take courses on a part-time basis. Graduates of the program possess a common body of knowledge in traditional business areas such as accounting, finance, and marketing. In addition, courses in business, government, and economic tax policy provide breadth to complement the technical tax courses that make up the majority of credits. Students enrolled part-time can expect to complete the program in approximately two to three years. Students enrolled full-time can complete the program in a shorter period.
