Top Real Estate MBAs: Northwest

Northwest Real Estate

The Pacific Northwest is home to some of the fastest-growing cities in the country. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Northwest real estate is rapidly expanding, with population increases (16.5-19.8 percent) in the these five metros:

  • Greeley, CO
  • George, UT
  • Bend-Redmond, OR
  • Provo-Orem, UT
  • Boise, ID

While the Northwest is home to relatively few of the top-ranked MBA programs, the region makes up for a lack of quantity with quality—and specificity. Unbeknownst to many prospective b-schoolers pining for a tony school on the Eastern Seaboard, the American Northwest boasts a surprising number of excellent Real Estate-focused degrees.

Let’s take a closer look at the premiere options in the region:
