The city of Denver qualifies on all counts and is regularly listed among the best cities in America in which to live and work. The Graduate Tax Program was created at the University of Denver in 1975 in response to the demand for trained tax specialists in both the legal and accounting professions. The Graduate Tax Program prepares students for entry into professional tax practice in both the public and private sectors.
