Graduate Certificate
The Graduate Certificate in Real Estate Development offers academic and practical knowledge to achieve success in the property development sector of the real estate industry. The courses provide fundamental real estate knowledge, specific real estate development process knowledge and project efforts that would be applicable to many careers within the industry. The certificate is most useful to students who have experience in commercial real estate, however, students with residential real estate experience will also benefit from the concepts, application, and analysis provided in the courses.
Students completing the certificate will be given graduate level transcript credit for all of their courses completed with at least a “B” towards the Master of Science in Real Estate degree at Roosevelt. However, a student cannot pursue the MSRE degree and also receive the certificate.
