All students must have completed an introductory U.S. federal income tax law course of at least 3 semester units prior to entry into the program. Applicants may meet this requirement by taking Loyola's Income Taxation I as special students during the spring or summer term prior to matriculation.
Admission is competitive.
The applicant's academic record, professional experience, and letters of recommendation, as well as the rigor of the institutions awarding the applicant's baccalaureate, law, and other graduate degrees are all taken into account. It is anticipated that the program will not be able to admit all qualified candidates, even highly qualified candidates, who seek admission during its early years. Therefore, all other factors being equal, preference will be given to applicants who have previously applied for admission. Students will generally be admitted in the fall term. Students may be admitted in the spring or summer term if they can meet the prerequisites for courses offered that term.
