The Master of Science in Taxation (MST) Program prepares students to become successful tax professionals in public accounting, the corporate sector, or government. Graduates of the MST Program will have competence in accounting, a sound understanding of tax issues in a global environment, and an ability to apply this knowledge effectively in tax planning and problem solving situations. They will also have strong communication and research skills and a keen appreciation of the ethical standards of professional practice.
The Suffolk MST distinguishes itself from other programs by assuring student competence in three key areas of tax practice: tax compliance, tax planning, and tax policy.
