-  MS in Taxation Program Highlights  -

- 2008 -


1.  Reduced load.   The MS in Taxation degree is now at 30 credits (reduced from 33 and previously 36 credits). There are seven core required  courses and  three electives.

2. Four graduate certificates. We offer graduate certificates in four specialty areas: International Taxation, State and Local Taxation, Estate, Gift and Trust Taxation, and Corporate Taxation. Each certificate is awarded to students who completes three classes (9 credits) in any of the focus areas. Pre-requisite courses may be required.  Students are able to earn any of the graduate certificates either as part of, and in addition to, the MST degree, or as a stand-alone certificate that is pursued either before or after completing an MST degree. Admission to the MS in Taxation program is required for a stand-alone certificate.

3. GMAT waiver.  The GMAT exam is waived for  CPAs,  MBAs from accredited institutions, CFPs, and attorneys. In all waiver cases, an undegraduate or graduate GPA of 3.0 or higher is required.

4. MST tuition discount for FDU alumni. FDU offers a tuition discount to students who have completed their undergraduate education at FDU, or have earned an MS in accounting at FDU, and return to pursue the MST degree. The discount is $100 per credit ($300 per three credit course). Over a 30 credit MST degree, the saving amounts to $3,000.

5. Tuition discount for certificates.  A 20% tuition discount is offered to graduates of the FDU MST program who return to complete any of the four Graduate Certificates.
6. Access to professional online research database.  Each  student in the program may request and be provided with access to a powerful professional online data tax base for use as a supplement and an adjunct to their studies.

7. Selected topic classes. From time to time, we offer classes in special areas and topics that are not given  regularly. In the recent  past, we held courses in Real Estate Taxation , Taxation of S Corporations, and  Taxation of Financial Products,.  We are planning to offer a class on FIN48/FAS109.
