The Master of Science in Commercial Real Estate degree is designed for students who are principally interested in careers in the commercial 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, finance 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.
