Faculty

Instruction in the Graduate Tax Program is provided by a faculty that combines a commitment to teaching with a body of knowledge accumulated through years of experience at the most sophisticated levels of tax theory and practice. Full-time faculty members have extensive experience in public and private tax practice. The adjunct faculty is compromised of distinguished tax practitioners, each with a passion for teaching, drawn from private law firms, accounting firms and the Internal Revenue Service. Faculty members are committed to building on the excellence of the Program and to the success of every student.
