Program Highlights

Students may obtain a general MSRE degree or they may focus their studies in one of three specialty Options: Corporate Real Estate, Real Estate Development, or Real Estate Finance and Investment. Students may pursue the degree on either a full-time (5 quarters) or part-time (9 quarters) basis.

The program is professionally oriented and enjoys a very close relationship with the real estate industry. Students are encouraged to participate in industry organizations and must complete an internship during the course of their studies if they are not already working in the industry.

Class sizes are small, allowing for hands-on team projects, interactive seminar discussions, extensive interaction with faculty, and plenty of opportunities to participate in intercollegiate competitions. Admission is offered to a competitive pool of high-quality and ambitious applicants from across the country and around the world.

The Graduate Certificate in Real Estate (GCRE) offers non-real estate UW graduate students an opportunity to learn the fundamental concepts and tools critical in the working of real estate markets while helping them understand how their own fields of study can be useful in real estate.

They are in the early stages of developing a undergraduate program in Real Estate.
