Develop the ability to analyze, interpret and apply tax law through the MTx program. The MTx program's course design and significant number of full-time tax faculty further affords graduates with keen insight into the application and communication of tax issues, a highly recognized and valued skill set in today's competitive global economy.

Georgia State University's MTx graduates are hired as consultants and employees by international, national and local public accounting firms, organizations, law firms and government agencies including: PriceWaterhouseCoopers, BellSouth, Coca-Cola Company, Deloitte & Touche, Ernst & Young, Georgia Pacific and KPMG. Our MTx graduates and business partners benefit from a curriculum designed to reflect current trends in taxation. Program graduates have high-level analytical, communication and leadership skills that benefit their selected business partners.

The Georgia State MTx program is unique in its broad selection of graduate tax courses with full-time tax faculty teaching many of these courses. Adjunct professors, well recognized in their respective fields, also teach in some of the more specialized areas.

MTx students are successful in their participation in Tax Challenge annual competitions. Georgia State students (graduate and undergraduate) have received more cash awards in competing in the Tax Challenge than any other competing university.

The founding chapter and headquarters for Tau Alpha Chi, a national honorary professional tax society, meets regularly at GSU to discuss current taxation issues and to network with other tax professionals and MTx students.

Assigned and easily accessible faculty advisors consult and assist MTx students in course strategies and employment selection.

The enrolled MTx students are diverse in their backgrounds. Many program participants enroll immediately upon completing their undergraduate degrees. Some candidates already are established in careers as tax professionals, CPA's, attorneys (J.D.'s, your LSAT will replace the GMAT requirement) or other professionals with non-accounting backgrounds wanting to change careers. MTx class scheduling and accessible locations - some course selection is available at the Georgia State University North Campus in Alpharetta-provide a convenient way to achieve growth opportunity from your career in taxation.
