Graduate Program in Taxation
Building on a fifty-year tradition of excellence, the University of Miami School of Law Graduate Program in Taxation prepares students for successful careers in private practice or public service. We understand that tax law is in constant evolution and that tax lawyers face the challenge of integrating ongoing changes into their practice. That’s why our curriculum allows lawyers to pursue a full range of tax specialties while also offering a solid foundation in the core subjects of taxation.
Miami Law’s program educates tax professionals to play significant roles in tax and business law in the United States and around the world. Located in Miami, the taxation program lends students an international perspective as well as exceptional career-building opportunities. No other law school in the nation is located in a region that affords this exceptional mix of diverse perspectives and opportunities.
Our LL.M. Graduate Program in Taxation currently ranks in the top 10 according to US News and World Report and is designed for the law graduate or attorney who wishes to acquire a high level of professional expertise in federal taxation. We offer both full-time and part-time options, as well as a seven-semester joint J.D./LL.M. option for students in their third year of law school.
Our faculty consists of full-time professors with substantial experience in private practice as well as adjunct faculty from the leading firms in South Florida and the Internal Revenue Service.
