The MBA/MST allows students to develop a deep expertise in taxation and a sound grasp of general management. The joint program prepares students for high level careers in tax consulting and advising, most particularly in a corporate or trust context. Students who possess a CPA, or who are preparing to become professionally qualified, are likely to find this an especially attractive option.

Two master's degrees will be awarded when all degree requirements for both programs are fulfilled.

The MBA/MST consists of 43 – 73 credits.
