Master of Science in Real Estate (MSRE)
We offer two degree programs: Advanced Standing MSRE for applicants with a quantitative bachelor's
that can be completed in one year, and a Regular Standing MSRE for applicants with a non-quantitative
bachelor's that can be completed in two years. The programs focus on preparing students for future
leadership roles within the real estate industry. The program combines academic rigor with commercial
relevance and is taught by leading real estate faculty and accomplished affiliate instructors, with
significant professional experience. Small class sizes allow heightened interaction with faculty and
opportunities to participate in intercollegiate competitions.
