Business Administration and Real Estate Development (MBRE)

Graduate Degree Program
R.H. Smith School of Business / School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation

ABSTRACT

The dual degree combines coursework from the graduate real estate and MBA programs to enable a student to complete both the Master of Business Administration and Master of Real Estate Development degrees with fewer total credits than it would take to complete the two separately and sequentially.

The Smith School of Business faculty has been recruited from the graduate programs of leading universities nationwide. They are world-renowned scholars whose teaching and research equips students with the wisdom of business scholarship rooted in the experiential lessons of the marketplace. In addition to mastering core functional business knowledge, Smith students develop sophisticated analytical skills and an “integrative” systems understanding of the way the functional aspects of organizations interact. Students learn how to leverage big data for better decision-making, and explore their career options in a tight-knit community that encourages intelligent risk-taking, not cutthroat competition.
