"The online taxation program is 10 courses. There are five core courses that you must take and then you have five electives. We’ve tried to arrange the electives to be what we call a corporate track and an individual track, but you’re not held to only taking the corporate track or the individual track." — Professor Timothy Gagnon

"The biggest difference that I’ve seen since starting the program is the amount of responsibility that I’ve been given. One of the reasons why I decided to get a Master of Science in Taxation was to develop kind of a broad framework of each individual area, but also the taxation system as a whole. Through the core courses and then the elective courses, I’ve really been able to get to the point where I can recognize issues and have a framework with which I can operate." — Matthew Hitchcock, CPA, Online MST'16
