High Net-Worth Individual Taxation Graduate Certificate

The online Certificate in High Net-Worth Individual Taxation from the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management prepares you to be an expert in personal tax planning for high-earning clients.

In the asynchronous, flexible program, you'll study topics such as compensation and benefits, wealth transfer, income taxation of trusts and estates, and property transactions with expert faculty. Our instructors have decades of teaching experience, as well as a deep professional understanding of the tax industry.

Complete the 12-credit, AACSB-accredited graduate certificate in as few as 15 months.
