MS in Real Estate Development

Curriculum

The MS in Real Estate Development program offers both on-campus and online options to support the learning and flexibility for MSRED students. The curriculum for both is the same. On-campus students take their courses at Jefferson’s East Falls Campus, while online students’ classes are offered live online with other students online and in the classroom. Online classes are recorded for flexibility.

The program is designed as a 37-credit, 12-course curriculum that can be completed on a full-time or part-time basis in 1 ½ to 2 ½ years, depending on the course load taken by the student. Students can enroll for a summer, fall, or spring semester start.
