University of Minnesota – Carlson School of Management

Taxation Graduate Certificate

The online graduate-level Certificate of Taxation from Minnesota Carlson allows you to deeply explore the core concepts of taxation. You'll learn from expert faculty in one of the top graduate tax programs in the country. Graduate in as few as nine months from our AACSB-accredited program. 

During your online courses, you'll study tax research, corporate tax, partnership tax, tax accounting, and more. Our instructors have decades of teaching experience, as well as a deep professional understanding of the industry.

This certificate can lead to a variety of career paths. All courses in the certificate count toward accounting hours required to sit for the CPA exam, if that's a goal you have. If you're already a CPA, you can qualify for CPE credit. Upon completion, you'll be able to apply your skills immediately to your current role, and if you choose to continue your education, you can transfer all of your certificate credits into our Master of Business Taxation program. Minnesota Carlson has a prestigious career center that offers an array of services to prepare students to enter and navigate the job market.

Employees from our corporate partner organizations are automatically eligible for a 15% tuition discount.
