Real estate specialization

All Stern students interested in real estate are highly encouraged to take courses within the MBA program's real estate specialization. The specialization provides training in the following areas:

• Economics of real estate development and investment

• Pricing and valuation of financial instruments with real estate as the underlying, such as REITs and mortgage-backed securities

• Workings of real estate primary and secondary markets

• Legal, taxation and regulatory environment

Elective courses can be chosen to emphasize the commercial real estate development process or the investment strategies in real estate capital markets. With an appropriate choice of elective courses, the real estate specialization provides in-depth preparation for various careers in real estate, including development, brokerage, private equity, and public securities.
