Real Estate & Project Management
The Real Estate and Project management area addresses professionals who want to pursue further studies on business issues related to the building industry, starting from conceiving the communities and buildings, to the planning and managing of entitlements, design, finance, construction, marketing and operating the buildings. Most courses address both US and international projects and are based on case studies, emphasizing a hands-on experience in real world situations requiring judgment and making decisions under conditions of responsibility. Often, the program attracts designers who want to enhance or change their careers but admission is open to students from diverse backgrounds. The immersion of the program in a design school allows the students to complement their course of study with subjects from other areas toward a broader education.
