The Master of Science in Commercial Real Estate degree is designed for students who are principally interested in careers in the real estate industry and those who will use real property in business decision making. It provides the student with both general and specialized real estate knowledge and analytical skills. The degree prepares students for professional areas such as financial counseling, market analysis and valuation, as well as industry activities such as real property development, acquisition, disposition, and management. The MSCRE program is based on a synthesis of legal, physical, market and financial considerations that affect the real property decision process. The student’s educational experience is enhanced because the program attracts many experienced real estate professionals into the classroom, and the program has a practical orientation in which students participate in industry problem solving and research under the direction of the program’s faculty.

Regulations for the Degree
Course Requirements: The Master of Science in Commercial Real Estate degree consists of 30 semester hours of course work numbered 8000 and above. Previous graduate real estate coursework successfully completed at the Robinson College of Business will be evaluated and up to six hours credit toward the required or elective courses in the major (section “b” or “c” below) may be awarded to entering students. A maximum of six hours of transfer credit is permitted in this 30-hour program. The option of awarding credit toward the MSCRE degree is totally at the discretion of the Department of Real Estate and its designees. The course requirements for the degree and the format of the program follow. The number of hours of 8000-level credit required in each section of the program is shown in parentheses after the section heading. This number represents the minimum requirement. If prerequisites for the courses listed in each section have not been properly completed or if they are not included as electives within the M.S.C.R.E. program, they must be taken as additional hours. In most cases, however, the graduate-level prerequisites can be incorporated as electives into the student’s program of study. Students always must consult the Course Descriptions chapter of the current graduate catalog to determine if they have met the prerequisites for any course to be taken.
