Tax Track

With the aid of a generous gift from the Ernst & Young Foundation in 2008, SMU Cox began offering a Tax Track in its MSA Program.  This track addresses the increased demand for tax expertise and practitioners in the wake of Sarbanes-Oxley.  The Tax Track embeds in the nine-month 32-hour MSA Program specific courses designed by tax professionals to prepare students for the business world.

Successful completion of the Tax Track enables individuals to enter the accounting profession as highly trained tax professionals and increase their overall marketability.  The Tax Track is regarded by employers as equivalent to students having completed a Masters in Taxation.  Job placement rates have been extremely high and program alumni have secured great interest from large national and regional public firms.

Discover for yourself why national and regional accounting firms find that students completing the MSA Tax Concentration at SMU Cox are highly sought after.
