I graduated with hundreds of professional contacts I gained solely by being in this program. If I can do it, coming from a different country not knowing a soul, then anyone who works hard at relationships can do it.

Graduate Students

The market clearly values our graduates as a large and expanding number of firms have recently hired, or sought to hire, our graduate and undergraduate real estate students.

Undergraduate Students

We do not offer an undergraduate major in Real Estate. However, many undergraduate business students take one or both of our undergraduate courses: REE 3043: Real Estate Analysis and REE 4905: Real Estate Investment Decision Making, and a growing number of students each year are completing the undergraduate minor in real estate.
