Accounting Degree Review released their ranking report on U.S. Taxation Programs and Rutgers Business School’s Master of Accountancy in Taxation was ranked the No. 5 Master’s in Taxation program in the U.S.

In compiling the list of the 35 Best Master’s in Taxation, 2020, Accounting Degree Review gathered information from the United States Department of Labor, the National Center for Education Statistics, and data provided by Forbes and U.S. News & World Report.  

Each degree ranking featured individual degree scores based upon student success, satisfaction, and overall financial payout after graduation. 

Accounting Degree Review wrote in their report that "the taxation specialty was growing, due in part to increasingly more complicated tax codes with frequent changes. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported how careers within personal financial advising are expected to grow by 15 percent by 2026." 

"The students and their commitment to excellence is what has truly propelled the program to achieve this ranking," said professor Jay Soled, director of the Masters in Taxation program.
