Master of Taxation Application Process

STEP 1 ON-LINE APPLICATION:

Complete on-line the Graduate College admissions application.

The online application is multi-part and collects basic demographic information as well as supplemental pieces of your application such as work experience and essays.

• You should be prepared to enter details of your most recent employment and your standardized test results (if received).
  
• You should prepare in advance using MS Word, responses to the following essay questions that then must be uploaded into the online application in the appropriate place. Be sure to carefully proofread your essays before submitting.  Please note that special fonts and/or formats ( i.e., italics, bold, changed font, etc.) may be lost during data submission.
  
  
  1. Describe your background in accounting and taxation, achieved through either academic or professional experiences.
  2. How will the MTax program help you achieve both your personal and professional goals?
  3. Address strengths and weaknesses of your application in light of the program's admission criteria, including areas of deficiency. Include any additional information you would like the Admissions Committee to know about your candidacy for admission.

STEP 2 SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATION MATERIALS:

The School of Accountancy employs an application submission technique whereby you, the applicant, are asked to gather all Supplemental Application materials (i.e., those items not collected electronically through the on-line application). 

Once collected, these materials should then be forwarded -- unopened and in their original envelopes to the Graduate College.

Please add your Document Reference Number to all materials prior to mailing. This number can be obtained from the Graduate College Application Checklist which is the last page of the on-line application. (If you have submitted documents prior to receiving your Document Reference Number, materials will be matched manually).

Your supplemental application packet should include:

• Two (2) sealed Letters of Recommendation, which you collect directly from the recommenders (there is no separate form). These individuals should speak to your personal qualities, career focus, and potential for success in the graduate business classroom. They should know you personally and be familiar with your career history, credentials, leadership strengths and professional aspirations.
• One "Official" copy of all transcript(s), in the original, sealed envelope- ASU students do not need to submit transcripts
