Students can customize classwork around their work schedules by watching recordings of the same lectures offered to students in the LLM in Taxation via streaming video at convenient times. Final exams, while scheduled on particular dates, can be completed on a computer at home or in the office by using an online proctoring service and exam software. |
| Final Project |
Students complete a final written project which addresses a timely tax law or policy topic. As with course selection, students have the opportunity to choose a topic based on their area of interest from several different tax subject areas (e.g., business taxation, international taxation, and estate planning or tax controversy).
