The world of tax is constantly changing. Globalization and increased competition, both domestically and internationally, have created a situation where tax law is helping to shape social, political, economic, and business policies and agendas. Because of this constant change, the demand for tax professionals potentially may grow by more than 20% in the next decade, and, with that growth, average starting salaries can be as high as $50,000 or $60,000.

To meet market demand for tax professionals, the CU Denver Business School has created an MS in Taxation (“MTAX”) degree program to give students the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in this dynamic and intriguing career field. The MTAX degree program is a 30-semester hour program, typically comprised of ten 3-semester hour courses. Students can earn their MTAX degree within a 12-month period; however, most students complete the MTAX program over two years.
