Introduction
As one of the oldest and largest programs of its kind in the nation, Denver Law's Graduate Tax Program is a leader in training tax specialists in the legal profession. Current lawyers and JD students in our LLM program train side by side with accountants from our Master's program to gain cross-disciplinary experience on aspects of tax. Our curriculum is nothing but tax, with courses taught using the Internal Revenue Code, treasury regulations, and other related material. The Graduate Tax Program prepares tax professionals for a career in tax.
Students can complete the Tax LLM program in a way that best fits their lives and schedules. All Graduate Tax courses are delivered in an asynchronous online format that allows you to fit the program within your schedule, while also providing opportunities for live interaction with faculty and classmates and in-person events for those who are in the Denver area.
Students have the option to pursue their Tax LLM as a full-time or part-time student. Full-time students can earn a degree in just one year and part-time students generally finish the degree in 18-24 months. Most working professionals pursue their Tax LLM as part-time students to successfully balance all of their obligations.
