The program is targeted principally at persons in full-time employment or with relevant work experience in tax departments of corporations, CPA firms, law firms and government agencies. Each course in the program lasts eight weeks, and the entire certificate can be completed in one year. In addition to being offered in the traditional in-class format on campus, the program has the distinction of offering the first online State and Local Taxation diploma in the country. As a result, students can complete the requisite course work regardless of where they live or work. The content of each on-line course is the same as the classroom version.
Students are able to download and listen to lectures at their convenience.
Students also have access to a comprehensive online library of state tax reference materials. Courses can be taken in any sequence, and students can enter the program at any time, including the fall, spring or summer semesters. This page was last updated on Jan 24, 2001.
