Tax Education from Law Schools
In law schools, "tax law" is a subdiscipline and area of specialist study. Its specialists are most commonly employed in consultative roles, but they can be involved in litigation. Many law schools require about 50 credit hours of study with another 30 hours of electives. Law students pick and chose available courses to focus on before graduation with the JD degree in the United States. This would allow law students to take many tax courses such as federal taxation, estate and gift tax, and estates and successions before completing their Juris Doctor and taking the bar exam in a particular US state.
There are many fine LLM or Masters in Laws Gradaute programs in the USA. Many of these programs offer the opportunity to focus on domestic and international taxation. Most LLM programs require you to be a graduate of an accredited law school.
Tax Education from Business School Programs
There are hundreds of accredited business schools in the USA. Many are accredited by the AACSB or ACBSP or recognized by AAFM. These undergraduate or graduate programs may allow the student to major or graduate with a tax related degree such as a Masters in Taxation. Also, the undergraduate focus on accounting would allow a student to go the CPA track. After a student completes the individual state or jurisdictional requirements for accounting, the applicant may sit for the CPA exam.
