Specifically for students pursuing careers requiring extensive tax knowledge, the MTax degree maintains an outstanding reputation among tax departments, accounting firms and major corporations nationwide. The MTAX degree is a 33-hour program, requiring 18 hours of graduate tax coursework and 15 hours of supporting graduate business (non-accounting) coursework. The broad tax coverage and exposure to other business disciplines give MTax students excellent preparations for working in a complex environment where knowledge of tax consequences is important. The 15 hours of graduate business courses can be used to obtain concentrated study in a second area of expertise or can be used to obtain a broad graduate business education.

Since the MTax degree's inception at Baylor in 1980, hundreds of students have entered the business world prepared for tax consulting, financial planning, business management, and a variety of other careers.
