Graduate Real Estate Education in the U.S.: The Diverse Options for Prospective Students

Journal of Real Estate Practice and Education, 2010, vol. 13, issue 1, 33-53

Abstract: Graduate real estate education is offered in the United States in diverse settings and with a variety of approaches. The information provided on the websites of a selection of academic programs finds that prospective students may find the plethora of programs daunting, even confusing, as the formats, types, and emphases of graduate education in real estate is highly diverse. Our survey of the core curriculum and electives shows that programs can generally be segmented into either a real estate finance and management option or a multi-disciplinary option. The multi-disciplinary programs tend to be of greater duration than the real estate finance and management programs and cover more material focused on construction, design, and development.
