MS in Real Estate Development
http://www.arch.columbia.edu/realestate/faq.shtml
The MSRED program teaches the specific analytical skills necessary to succeed in all aspects of the real estate development process, whereas the traditional MBA aims for a broad understanding of general business management. The MSRED features unique coursework that stresses immersion within a focused curriculum including Real Estate Finance, Asset Management and Repositioning, Architecture, Real Estate Law, Construction, and Public Sector Partnerships. These courses are not offered in traditional MBA programs that typically offer only two or three classes focusing on real estate. The MSRED does not contain classes unrelated to Real Estate Development.
Additionally, the MSRED offers GRE®Testater exposure to the working real estate experience by providing access to industry events including: the annual Urban Land Institute (ULI) conference, the Retail and Institutional Money seminar, and Capital Markets panels. The MSRED also convenes its own Lunchbox Lecture and Roundtable series, conducts cutting-edge research in the Center for High Density Development (CHDD), and sponsors ongoing networking association events throughout the year.
