Research Areas of Interest: the intersection of technology and accounting

 

Questions:

1. With my masters in tax and tax experience will I be limited to tax research? Or have better chances of getting into a program with a focus on tax?

2. Should I take a calculus course or other math course before applying? Online or community college? If online, what are good options?

3. Would I need to find schools that have professors publishing about my research area of interest or is that too specific a criteria?

4. What tier of schools should I be looking at, given my profile?

 

Thank you!
