Graduate Certificate in Taxation

The Graduate Certificate in Taxation (GCT) is a 12 credit hour program designed to (1) prepare graduates for entry level positions in public and private accounting in taxation, (2) provide graduate-level education for tax professionals who desire to enhance their specialized tax knowledge and (3) provide 180 hours of CPE for licensed tax professionals.

The GCT is a specialized program aimed to equip students with the highly technical and demanding skills required to provide tax and business advice in the private sector as well as administer the tax laws in the public sector of the economy. 

Kelley accounting students may take up to 6 credit hours of graduate-level courses while completing their undergraduate degree.  The remaining courses will be completed as a graduate student.  The certificate hours will transfer to the Master of Science in Accounting or the Master of Science in Taxation.

Students may apply to the program after completing a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university or during their senior year of college or have completed a law degree. An undergraduate major in accounting is not a requirement, however, applicants must have taken A515 Federal Income Taxes or the equivalent within the last 5 years.
