Eastern Michigan's Master of Science in Tax Consulting (MSTC) acknowledges the split between tax compliance and tax consulting, which began over 30 years ago. It recognizes that the tax practice entails more tax consulting and less tax compliance (and the division is growing wider yearly). With this in mind, Eastern's MSTC prepares students to be tax consultants from the first day on the job. The Accounting, Finance, and Information Systems Department offers the program Hyflex in a synchronous format using current technology. Thus, online students can access the same course media, materials, discussions, etc., as if in the classroom. In addition, the faculty records class meetings enabling students to revisit lectures as often as necessary while enrolled in each course. Outstanding faculty with real-world experience, including professionals from local, national, and international law and accounting firms.
