What This Site Does
Comparing master's in taxation programs is hard because the facts sit on different school pages, and some schools publish a price per credit while others publish a yearly rate. We collect 78 programs at 59 schools into one place, put cost, credits, format, and accreditation side by side, and rank each program against others at the same degree level.
Every program has its own review, and every ranking explains why a program appears where it does. Guides, career pages, and certification pages use the same sources, so a figure on one page can be checked against the others.

Haley Hankins edits Masters in Taxation Programs and holds a Bachelor of Arts Business Administration: Accounting from Portland State University. Portland State's School of Business also offers a Master of Taxation, with an accelerated option the university says can be completed in just one year.
Portland State says it provides more career resources for accounting students than any other Oregon school, including two dedicated accounting career coaches, and that its graduates work in public accounting at Certified Public Accountant (CPA) firms of all sizes.
On this site, Haley reviews what sits behind each score: the program details a school lists on its own pages, its published price per credit, and federal data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and the College Scorecard.

How We Verify Programs
Researchers read each school's own program, tuition, and admissions pages in October 2026 and recorded what the school states: credits, per-credit rate, format, start dates, admissions rules, and certification preparation. We then joined that record to federal data (completion rates and completions from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, IPEDS, and graduate earnings from the College Scorecard), and checked accreditation against the official program lists. Credential preparation and accreditation are recorded program by program.
Each program review lists the school pages we used. When a source does not publish a figure, the page leaves it out rather than guessing. The methodology page explains how the eight scored factors work and what each one weighs.
Our Editorial Standards
- Primary sources first. Costs and formats come from the school, completion rates from IPEDS, graduate earnings from the College Scorecard, occupation pay from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and accreditation from the accreditor's own list.
- No invented figures. We do not estimate or fill gaps. If a school does not publish a number, we leave it off.
- Data dates on every page. Program data was last verified in October 2026, and each page shows when it was updated.
- No promises. Occupation pay describes a whole field, and graduate earnings are past medians, so neither is a promise of what you will earn. Finishing a degree does not guarantee a job or a certification.
Corrections
If a price, requirement, or accreditation on a page is out of date, email the editor with the page address and a link to the school's page. We check every report against the source and correct verified errors.
