Program Overview

Executive LLM in Tax Program

The NYU Law Graduate Tax Program has been the preeminent program of its kind for over 65 years, offering dozens of courses taught by respected academics and leading practitioners. The Executive LLM program provides qualified students with the opportunity to take many of the same courses and have the same high-quality educational experiences as on-campus NYU Law tax students, using a cutting-edge online video system.

Flexibility

In most semesters, more than a dozen different online courses are offered, ranging from Taxation of Mergers & Acquisitions to Tax Policy. Students can customize classwork around their schedules, watching their class on video at any time that is convenient. Even final exams can be completed on a computer in their home or office by using a video proctoring device. Students can complete the entire degree by participating in online courses, though they are welcome to take classes on campus in Greenwich Village as well.

Interactivity

Executive LLM students have direct access to their professors through online discussion boards, email, and telephone conversations. And even though Executive LLM students are not physically on campus, they can keep up with all that goes on at Washington Square by watching videos of many panels and programs.

High Quality Technology

Online courses are offered in high-resolution video, using the same technology that popular video-on-demand services use to deliver movies. Professors may use a "smart tablet" that displays the professor's handwriting electronically in a separate window.

Admission and Program Requirements

Most of the students in the Executive LLM program are experienced attorneys who are located outside of the New York region. Current students include attorneys who work at law firms, accounting firms, and in-house at corporations. They practice across the United States, as well as in Europe and Asia.

• Admission to the Executive LLM program is highly selective.
• Executive LLM students must meet the same admission standard as on-campus students.
• To apply, students must hold a first degree in law (JD or LLB) from a law school that is approved by the Section of Legal Education of the American Bar Association or a bachelor of law degree from a non-US law school approved by its foreign equivalent.
• Students have up to five years to complete the 24 credits needed to receive a degree.
