    Introductory coursework takes place in July of the student’s first year in the program. Courses provide an introduction to the U.S. legal system as it relates to business and tax planning, and the U.S. tax system.

  • Years 1 - 2 (Online)

    During the following two academic years, students continue to take courses online. Students may, if they choose, also come to Miami for certain "short courses" that are offered for a week or over several weekends during the academic year.

Combination of In-Person and Online Learning Option

Students pursuing an LLM in international taxation online can also take advantage of in-person learning while in Miami. Students can combine in-person classes and online learning to complete the required 28 credits, which can be completed in 2 or 3 years, part-time. Based on their schedules, students can take in-person classes (including full-semester and/or short courses) when in Miami, and can take courses remotely when located outside Miami.

Note that not all courses may be offered in both formats – some courses may be offered only online, for example.
