MTax future students

Your W. P. Carey experience

Welcome to the W. P. Carey School of Business, where business is personal®. Small class sizes allow you to collaborate with your classmates and build strong bonds with your instructors, who count on your participation to enrich each class session. MTax classes are held at times throughout the day in the state-of-the-art McCord Hall. It’s the ideal place to focus on projects, research assignments, and even grab a bite to eat and relax.

Orientation

Your W. P. Carey experience begins with a mandatory on-campus orientation prior to the start of your program. You'll meet your fellow students and teammates, as well as W. P. Carey faculty and staff, preparing you for a seamless start to graduate school.

Student services

Focus on your studies while we focus on the details. Our dedicated student services team will work with you to provide key resources you need to be successful in the MTax program, including:

  • Billing and deadline reminders
  • Academic information
  • Course announcements

Extracurricular activities

Make the most of your time outside the classroom. Activities for MTax students include:

Mentorship

Meet W. P. Carey alumni who can provide insight on grad school and your career path. You can work with an ongoing mentor and “flash mentors” to help you find your way.

CPA exam prep

Prepare for the CPA exam while completing your degree. With the help of a robust student-organized network, many students pass several or all parts of the exam while still a grad student.

Perspectives from the Profession speaker series

Learn from our partners from Big Four firms and other seasoned professionals. Speakers typically present and answer your questions about their topic as well as career goals, industry trends, skills to develop, and other advice.

Meet the Firms career fair

Network with employers from approximately 50 companies, including many large accounting, consulting, and S&P 500 corporations. Held in the fall, Meet the Firms is an excellent opportunity to discuss potential full-time offers or internships. Other school-sponsored career events take place throughout the year, giving you multiple venues to showcase your strengths and target prospective employers.
