As a graduate student, you can choose from one of four degree tracks in which to focus your academic activity:
Development
Understand the financial considerations, market demand, project feasibility, financing, and environmental considerations that drive decisions on whether and where to develop.
Construction Management
Learn to manage projects on time and on budget, keeping an eye on the major financial considerations involved with large-scale construction activity and subcontractor oversight. Gain insight into how to quantify and evaluate the impact of changes, as well as monitor quality and adherence to guidelines and standards.
Real Estate Finance
Perhaps the most critical aspect of successful development projects is learning how to obtain the financing needed to begin a project. From private equity to leveraged buy-outs, the U.S. real estate capital markets have never been so sophisticated. Explore complex issues like financing structures, liquidity, securitization, and financing as well as traditional bank lending.
International Real Estate
From Dubai to China to Russia and all points in between, both inbound and outbound real estate investment is rapidly internationalizing real estate practice. You’ll build on Georgetown’s expertise in international affairs to understand more about global markets, and then how to leverage that knowledge to design a progressive investment strategy.
