REAL ESTATE


The Rutgers MBA concentration in Real Estate is designed to provide students with the in-depth understanding of property and property markets and tools necessary to succeed in the real estate industry.

The concentration is built on four core courses: Aggregate Economic Analysis, Real Estate Finance, Real Estate Law and Development.

Aggregate Economic Analysis (22:223:591) serves as an introduction to macroeconomics and economic policy-making at the national level. 

Real Estate Finance (22:390:695) offers students an in-depth understanding of applied financial economics and the background and tools necessary to analyze income-producing property from the perspective of an institutional investor. Students will use lease and market information to develop pro forma cash flow projections for a given property and evaluate the risk and return associated with an investment.

The third component of the core is Real Estate Law (22:851:650) which offers an overview of the legal issues confronting the real estate executive beginning from the commencement of a real estate transaction and throughout the relationship between the various parties to such transactions. 

Finally, Real Estate Development (22:851:632) examines the commercial real estate development process, focusing on typical strategies, challenges, and risks, as well as providing an overview of the basics of development finance and value.
