The graduate tax program at Texas Tech University is focused on the study of the U.S. tax system and its effects on business behavior and decision-making. Our graduates are equipped with a broad understanding of the structure and underlying rationale of the U.S. federal income tax system, including the application of that system to international business operations. They are skilled at analyzing business problems, and finding and communicating solutions to those problems through professional research. Their oral and written communication skills are well honed and they are comfortable with the application of current technological tools. They are prepared to assume positions of responsibility in a variety of businesses, including public accounting, corporate accounting/finance/tax departments, and law firms.
