tax minor
Your undergraduate degree can put you in the running for the job you want. Adding a Minor could make your resume more impressive.
A Minor is a set of courses that complements your Major and helps you reach your career goals. The broader your knowledge, and the more workforce-ready skills you acquire, the better chance you'll have for a promotion or a new job. Plus, earning a Minor shows potential employers you are eager to learn and are willing to put in the extra effort.
The successful completion of the Tax Minor is intended to qualify an individual to successfully complete the Internal Revenue Services’ Enrolled Agent Examination. Enrolled Agents are the only individuals other than Certified Public Accountants and Attorneys authorized to practice before the Internal Revenue Service. Also, the successful completion of the Tax Minor is intended to qualify an individual to successfully complete the tax portion of the Uniform CPA exam.
