Real Estate In-Depth | September 27, 2017
NEW YORK– The Fordham Real Estate Institute at Lincoln Center announced earlier this month it is now accepting applications for its inaugural Master of Science in Real Estate (MSRE) class starting in January 2018. The 36-credit graduate degree, which can be completed in as little as one year, builds on the success of REI’s seven real estate certificate programs offered through Fordham’s School of Professional and Continuing Studies.
Taught by top industry professionals working in the field, Fordham’s MSRE is designed to provide professionals in real estate with a thorough understanding of the multi-disciplinary industry, while allowing them to focus on areas of the business that are consistent with their own career pursuits. Flexibility is at the core of the program: part-time and full-time students will be able to take classes in person at Fordham’s Lincoln Center or Westchester campuses, as well as online.
This program was designed in consultation with industry leaders such as Dr. Hugh Kelly, chair of the Fordham REI Curriculum Committee and Special Advisor to the Fordham REI board, who is the former chief economist for Landauer Associates and past international chair of the Counselors of Real Estate.
“Students in our MSRE will have the best of all possible worlds,” said Anthony R. Davidson, PhD, MBA, dean of Fordham’s School of Professional and Continuing Studies, which houses REI. “Not only will our MSRE program allow students to learn from the best in the business at a top-ranked, global university, but they will also have the opportunity to network with fellow real estate professionals in class and at industry events as well as Fordham’s vast and loyal alumni network.”
Fordham will hold three information sessions this fall:
• Tues., Oct. 3 at 6:30 p.m.: Lincoln Center Campus (113 West 60th St., Room 301, New York, NY 10023)
