As the real estate industry rebounds from its bursted bubble a few year back, DePaul University’s Kellstadt School of Business provides various opportunities for graduate students who want to enter or advance in the field.
“After the real estate slowdown of the last few years, the job market for real estate graduates has improved substantially recently,” Charles Wurtzebach, chairman of the Department of Real Estate at DePaul University, said in an article on the school’s website. “All sectors of commercial real estate appear to be expanding and need new employees to keep up with the expansion. Many of our students have been successful in getting multiple offers at graduation.”
With employment opportunities existing as a senior real estate analyst, acquisitions officer, asset and portfolio manager, real estate developer, real estate finance manager and urban planning manager, the school is offering an MBA in Real Estate Finance and Investment. This degree for working professionals provides a solid foundation in core business functions with an emphasis on finance and investment, which is well suited for careers in the commercial real estate industry.
In this concentration, prospective MBAs can choose from a diverse set of competencies and skills, which encompass how to:
- Manage complex real estate transactions by learning all aspects of these transactions, including finance and real estate investing, taxation, development, investment sales and capital market analysis.
- Manage urban planning initiatives and public sector enterprises.
- Facilitate financial and investment transactions.
