In some cases the above courses may not be recommended to you based upon previous undergraduate course work. For example, many accounting majors have already taken a tax course at the undergraduate level. If you did well in the undergraduate level course, TAX 801 would not be an elective we would suggest you take at the graduate level.

It is recommended that you consult your academic advisor for help with selecting your elective courses.
