For scheduling purposes, please note that Federal Income Taxation is a prerequisite to Taxation of Corporations and Shareholders and Taxation of Partnerships and S Corporations, and Wills and Trusts must be completed before, or concurrently with, Estate & Gift Tax/Estate Planning.

Requirement 2

  • In addition to the required courses, students must complete one course from the tax electives list and one course from the non-tax electives list.
