Degree Programs

Among top real estate programs, UW is renowned for its breadth, awarding Bachelors, MBA in Real Estate, and Ph.D. degrees. All aspects of real estate are covered: finance, appraisal, development, asset management, market analysis, law and the regulatory environment, and urban land economics. Technical subjects are fully covered, but the curriculum also includes hands-on projects and substantial opportunities for field work, in the U.S. and abroad. The Real Estate Club and the Alumni Association offer unparalleled opportunities to keep in contact with industry leaders.
