TAX-LLM - Taxation

Admission to this program is by selection. An applicant for admission to the LL.M. (taxation) degree program must hold a J.D. degree from an American Bar Association-accredited law school. Students with a law degree from a foreign country and a strong background in tax may also be considered for admission. Students may attend either full time or part time.

Application Procedure
Applicants must include with their applications a letter stating why they are interested in entering the graduate degree program, two letters of recommendation and official transcripts from both their undergraduate and law schools. 

Applications for the fall term should be received by the Office of Graduate Legal Studies by April 15 of the year of intended enrollment and for the spring term by December 1 of the year preceding enrollment. The Law School makes admissions decisions on a rolling basis and will accept applications after these dates; however, it strongly encourages applicants to apply within these deadlines.

Financial Aid
The SMU Office of Financial Aid is available to assist U.S. students in obtaining student loans.
