Graduate Tax
Instruction
Courses in the Graduate Tax Program are taught by full-time faculty of the School of Law and the College of Commerce and Finance, and by highly qualified adjunct instructors who are tax practitioners.
The problem method of instruction is used in many courses. Problems and other class materials are usually prepared by the full-time faculty with comments, modifications or additions by the adjunct faculty. Classes are selectively audited by the Director. Class sessions are usually digitally recorded and are available to students over the internet. Students are given the opportunity to evaluate the instructors and the course content.
All courses in the Program curriculum are taught as graduate-level courses. Graduate Tax program matriculants cannot take courses offered in the J.D. curriculum, or in the College of Commerce and Finance, for credit toward their Program degree.
Instructors in all courses highlight issues of professional responsibility that may arise in the context of the subject matter of the course. Students are encouraged, and in some instances required, to use the law school's facilities for electronic communication and computer-based research in appropriate courses.
