Real Estate Development
The Tulane School of Architecture and Built Environment offers coursework in real estate including a real estate bachelor’s degree and real estate development graduate degrees. All programs focus on experiential learning and are taught by leaders in academia and the real estate development profession. The coursework is interdisciplinary in nature, including topics in real estate finance, development, economics, design, planning and legal issues.
Master of Sustainable Real Estate Development
The Master of Sustainable Real Estate Development (MSRED) degree is practice-oriented and emphasizes opportunities for students. We equip our graduates with a blended education in business, economics, sustainable design, urbanism, and legal issues.
Graduate Certificate in Real Estate Development
The SRED Graduate Certificate provides a practical foundation in real estate development, emphasizing finance, feasibility, sustainability, and the development approval process. The Certificate is especially valuable for students in Tulane’s Master of Architecture and Master of Science in Historic Preservation programs, and it also welcomes applicants from related disciplines and industry roles seeking development fluency. It also serves as a foundation for the MSRED degree, allowing students to complete the Certificate first and then decide whether to pursue the full MSRED program.
Bachelor of Science in Real Estate
The Bachelor of Science in Real Estate (BSRE) is a comprehensive undergraduate major that teaches the core concepts of real estate including real estate finance and project management, while integrating unique offerings including design and related environmental concerns.
Minor in Real Estate
The Minor in Real Estate is designed to introduce the essential knowledge and skills for entry level positions and careers in the real estate industry. Students can complete the minor requirements during the Fall and Spring semesters, or through an intensive, 12-week Summer program.
