Martin J. Whitman School of Management
Curriculum
The real estate major emphasizes the development of real estate fundamentals and the capacity to put this knowledge to work in a changing business environment. Students have the opportunity to participate in hands-on experiential classes in NYC and are offered specialized training in real estate modeling using Excel and Argus. Students will learn to analyze local tax laws, zoning regulations, contracts, property management, valuation, real estate finance and capital markets.
Students are exposed to both the academic and real-world underpinnings needed to make an immediate and meaningful impact in this dynamic industry.
