Passionate about Real Estate? Thinking about Grad School?
Most real estate development companies look for their project managers to have a graduate degree in architecture, real estate, an MBA, or a law degree. I like the real estate development degree because it typically:
- has a mid-career student profile, designed so you can learn a lot from your fellow students,
- consists of small classes, and is only
- twelve months in duration, so you don't have to spend a lot of time offline reprogramming yourself.
Unless you are independently wealthy, or come from a prominent real estate family, one of the best moves you can make is to find a grad program that is a fit for you.
The one I went to was started by Hank Spaulding and Larry Bacow at MIT's Center for Real Estate. The MIT Center for Real Estate is sponsoring an information session this Friday, 5NOV at 630P the headquarters of AMB Properties located on Pier One [Google Maps Link] on San Francisco’s waterfront.
If you are thinking about graduate school, and your passion is real estate and development, this may be worth a couple hours of your time to come in and listen to Tony Ciochetti, the Center’s director, pitch the program and talk with San Francisco alumni [you can start with me] of this twelve month intensive master’s program.
Register here. Look forward to seeing you Friday!
