Lindner's Master of Science in Taxation Ranked Among Top 20 Public Graduate Business Programs in the Nation by U.S. News & World Report

The Carl H. Lindner College of Business received a Top 20 ranking for its Master of Science in Taxation program in U.S. News & World Report’s 2015 Best Online Graduate Business Programs (excluding MBA)rankings. The Lindner Master of Science in Taxation program was ranked No. 20 among the nation’s public graduate business programs and ranked No. 31 among all non-MBA graduate business programs. 

“Although our online Master of Science in Taxation program launched just two years ago, the program’s reputation is undoubtedly shaped by the high caliber of our faculty, who have a significant amount of tax experience, and the quality of our students, many of whom are working professionals,” says BJ Zirger, associate dean for Lindner’s Online Education. The U.S. News & World Report 2015 Best Online Graduate Business rankings are based on key factors such as student engagement, admission selectivity, peer reputation, faculty credentials and student services and technology.

The 2015 ranking of the Lindner Master of Science in Taxation follows a recent run of accolades for Lindner’s specialized master’s degrees. In late 2014, the Master of Science in Business Analytics program at the Lindner College of Business received a Top 20 ranking from The Financial Engineer and the Lindner Master of Science in Finance was ranked No. 7 (No. 4 among public institutions) among the best, most affordable programs in the nation by Master of Finance Degrees.
