Volunteering to Get Real Accounting Experience

While enrolled in the MS in Accounting and Analytics program, students can strengthen their leadership and networking skills as well as apply their professional accounting knowledge through initiatives that impact the community both on and off campus.

Whether your interests are joining a professional student organization, serving the community through projects such as the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA), or participating in experiential accounting-related projects with local businesses or nonprofits, UT Dallas strives to create an enriching and résumé-building environment for you.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program

For the last six years, UT Dallas students have been involved in the Internal Revenue Service’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program, which helps in tax return preparation and education for low-to-moderate-income families in the community.

In each of the past two years, over 150 students have volunteered and provided almost 13,000 total hours of volunteer work which generated over $20 million in tax refunds.

This program not only provides a great service to the community but is also a practical way for students to apply their accounting knowledge while developing leadership and communication skills.
