MBA/MST Dual Degree
As of September 2021, the MST program is no longer recruiting new students or accepting applications.
In as few as 16 months, the dual MBA/MST degree will help you develop skills that pertain to both taxation and corporate strategic planning with this expedited dual degree covering corporate taxation and high-level business principles. This program will prepare you to make an impact in determining business transactions in the global arena.
You’ll graduate ready to strategically plan at the corporate level, whether that’s in mergers and acquisitions or long-term financial forecasting with tax law changes in mind. Suffolk’s dual degree is designed for professionals who want a global mindset with knowledge at the granular level. This dual degree program also qualifies students to take the CPA exam in Massachusetts. You’ll be well prepared with courses integrated with Becker's CPA Exam Review materials and electives designed to help you pass!
With our flexible fall, spring, and summer course offerings, you can take two classes back-to-back in one evening. We offer online courses on a space available basis for added flexibility.
What's New With Our MST Program?
Suffolk's MST program aims to place a greater emphasis on experiential learning by expanding and changing the way course materials engage our students.
Some courses are available online, in a hybrid format, through distance learning, or in an accelerated format to add further opportunities for our students to determine the best balance between face-to-face and distance learning to suit their schedule and learning style.
At Suffolk, you will be repeatedly challenged to broaden your skills with hands-on experience in your courses, giving you the expertise to hit the ground running as you advance your career and to continue to stay at the front of the cutting-edge field of taxation.
