Program Information


Qualified students may earn a 15-unit Graduate Certificate in Taxation, giving them practical, general tax knowledge. Students must have earned an undergraduate degree from an accredited institution with at least a 3.00 grade-point average. Individuals with an undergraduate GPA below 3.00 are welcome to apply and will be considered for admission based on employment history, professional accomplishments and recommendations.

The certificate courses are available at all of our locations. In addition, the entire graduate certificate in taxation may be taken on the internet in highly interactive web-based classes.

Please refer to the Required Academic Progress and GPA Requirements  for Graduation for Graduate Students. Please note that some courses taken as part of certificate programs will have prerequisites. These prerequisites must be satisfied (through transfer of equivalent coursework or through taking the courses at Golden Gate) before enrolling in the certificate courses. For further information, refer to Admission to Certificate Programs and Registering for Open Enrollment .
