NYU School of Law's Advanced Professional Certificate (APC) in Taxation program is intended to meet the special postgraduate educational needs of attorneys who want to take LL.M. courses in Taxation but do not want, or are not able, to complete the 24-credit LL.M. in Taxation program. The APC consists of a combination of related courses totaling at least 12 credits and not exceeding 14 credits.
Application Deadlines
Program Information
Students may complete the program in one calendar year of part-time work, taking no more than six credit hours per semester. All APC requirements must be completed within four years. Since the APC consists of advanced courses, students must satisfy prerequisites. Should an APC in Taxation student want to pursue an LL.M. in Taxation, he or she may apply to transfer to the part-time LL.M. in Taxation program. Likewise, a student pursuing an LL.M. in Taxation may apply to transfer to the APC in Taxation program should he or she decide not to complete the LL.M.
All courses taken as an APC student, whether for credit or as a prerequisite, must be taken for a letter grade; no pass/fail option is available. All grades received (even in prerequisite courses or in courses above and beyond the program requirements) will count toward the student's cumulative grade point average. A minimum grade point average of B-/2.67 is required to receive the certificate. No exceptions are made to this minimum.
The Advanced Professional Certificate program has three areas of concentration: Corporate Taxation, Estate Planning and International Taxation. For detailed information, please visit the Graduate Affairs Web site.
