Opportunities with an Accounting and Tax Specialist Degree
Tax accountants find employment in every type of organization, including the following:
- Businesses
- Education
- Government

- Accounting firms
They will also have the basic business knowledge they need to operate their own home-based tax preparation services. Or they can become consultants, advising individuals and businesses about tax strategies.
Coursework in our accounting program
In addition to taking courses required for our Management Accounting degree, students in the accounting and tax specialist degree program complete four additional classes: Tax 1, Tax 2, Business Law and ACAT (Accreditation Council for Accountancy and Taxation) Review.
Both programs include general education classes that strengthen communication skills and prepare students for the diverse and complex world in which tax accountants work.
