New Delivery System in Graduate Tax Education

Description/Objectives:
This workshop will examine the recent problems encountered by traditional graduate tax programs, i.e., Type I (Academic) and Type II (Professional). One presenter from each type of program will illustrate how they developed their new format (Executive Type Programs). They will demonstrate how they effectively avoided problems with tax season, dealt with accounting firms, and administratively worked around their schools restrictions. They will share the thrills they added to make the programs extremely enjoyable and rewarding to students, as well as themselves.

Presenters from other programs will demonstrate how they are using the Internet to deliver their tax programs. An assessment of their problems and the initial success of such delivery and prospects for future will be examined.

The objective of this session is for the attendee to determine whether any of these new delivery systems would be effective for their Master's in Accountancy and/or Taxation Program.
