Real Estate Finance and Investment Concentration

The Real Estate Finance and Investment Concentration provides a broad array of courses for students with career interests in one of the five specializations in real estate: management and operations; finance and transactions; urban planning and management of public sector enterprises; research, market analysis and decision support; or development and entrepreneurship.

Requirements

In order to provide flexibility the concentration requires only two of the current Real Estate Finance department offerings in real estate and then permits students to select the remaining course in their concentration plus their electives from a list of economics, finance, marketing, law, public policy, sociology and geography courses. Many students fulfill their MBA electives by selecting from the following list, in effect creating the possibilities of a career-focused concentration:
