The Master of Science in Real Estate (MSRE) program offers students a core content of real estate-specific knowledge, and the ability to pursue studies in a range of disciplines that reflect the diverse and ever-changing nature of the real estate industry.
MSRE students have the opportunity to develop skills with tools such as Argus and Excel. After completing the program, students are prepared to provide leadership to new and continuing businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, and other organizations.
The program provides many opportunities for networking with leaders in the real estate industry. Kogod maintains and actively promotes strong contacts with local professional associations, including the Greater Washington Commercial Association of REALTORS® (GWCAR), the Appraisal Institute, Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW), and the major participants in the secondary mortgage market. Many prominent local real estate developers and professionals are alumni of the program, and the school’s benefactor, Robert Kogod, is the former Co-Chairman/Co-CEO of the Charles E. Smith Real Estate Company.
The MSRE program at Kogod prepares graduates for finance and real estate positions in areas such as commercial development and investment banks, mortgage finance firms, international development organizations, property management, insurance companies, and corporations.
