New Transfer Pricing Module

In Fall 2006, I will be launching a new program at Texas A&M in transfer pricing. Graduate students will be able to take a Module in Transfer Pricing consisting of four courses:

(1) a graduate course on multinational enterprises such as Multinational Enterprises (MGMT/IBUS 667, crosslisted as BUSH 627), Global Corporate Strategy, International Business, or International Management.

(2) a new graduate course on Transfer Pricing that I will be teaching in Spring 2007, listed initially as MGMT/BUSH/IBUS 689.

(3) an Accounting course, selected according to the student's background in accounting.

(4) one other course, selected according to the student's background and professional interests.

Most students will also complete a summer internship in a transfer pricing firm or organization prior to graduation.

Students for this program will come primarily from the Mays Business School and the George Bush School of Government and Public Service (the two units co-hosting the program), but the module will be open to graduate students from across campus, for example, MA and PhD students in Economics who want professional careers in transfer pricing.

Eventually, I hope to expand this module into a full-fledged Certificate Program in Transfer Pricing, with a distance learning option.
