Recommendations for a Masters in Taxation?

[EthanMDFN]

Hello! I recently received my BS in Accounting from Missouri State and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for MTAX/MST/MT etc. programs. My only hard requirements are online and AACSB, as I would like to start as soon as possible and admittedly have procrastinated applications a bit. Current options that seem appealing to me are Widener (for Taxation and Financial Planning specifically) and St. Johns, though St Johns seems to have "conflicting" information regarding the deadlines. So I was wondering if anyone had experience/recommendations/comments with regard to this type of program. Thanks!

Any specific reason for a master's in taxation instead of a master's in accounting? Any plans on becoming a CPA?

This may sound really dumb but I do plan on going for a Masters in accounting as well. I do plan on going for my CPA but I am in a relatively unique situation (graduated quite a bit early through taking overloads and summer classes, at one point 34 credits in a single semester in which I got a 4.00 so I am not afraid of the load). As a result I feel that getting a "specialist" degree will help me job wise and get the experience for CPA licensure, as well as some other goals. Additionally, there are more accounting programs than taxation programs at the master's level so I am not as worried in that regard, though given how late it is and how close to the spring semester start at almost all schools I may have some trouble in general there.
