The School of Accounting’s Advanced Tax Practice Graduate Badge at GVSU is designed to equip students with the skills necessary for advanced-level tax research and planning across a variety of situations.
Overview
The advanced tax practice badge is useful in preparing students for tasks such as researching and providing tax law conclusions for issues related to employee benefit plans and executive compensation under the Internal Revenue Code and ERISA, understanding fundamental concepts of tax accounting periods, and navigating consolidated income tax returns. Additionally, the badge prepares students for federal tax practice and procedure, ensuring they are well-versed in the legal and procedural aspects of taxation.
To earn this badge, students must take three courses, each worth three credits. This badge provides practical skills and advanced technical knowledge to prepare students for higher-level tax roles in corporate, public accounting, or consulting environments.
Earning the Advanced Tax Practice Graduate Badge at GVSU offers students:
- A valuable opportunity to showcase marketable and desirable skills to potential employers.
- Enhancement of your overall education and provides a specialized focus in advanced tax topics.
- A digital badge that can be easily displayed on social media, websites, and in emails, offering visibility and recognition.
- A badge that can be completed within a year and contributes to the development of stackable qualifications, with the four taxation badges forming a pathway toward earning a master’s degree in taxation.
The badge is not a degree or certificate; however, if you choose to continue, completion of this badge and the other three taxation specialization badges will create stackable credentials towards earning a master's degree in taxation.
