The University of San Diego’s Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate was founded in 1993, became the Real Estate Institute in 1998, and was re-named with an endowment gift in September 2004. The center's mission is to deliver outstanding education, industry outreach, career placement and research services to advance socially responsible leadership in real estate. Our vision is to be a world-class real estate center.

The center staff and affiliated faculty are actively expanding USD’s academic curriculum at the undergraduate and graduate levels while simultaneously creating a wide range of career-oriented opportunities for students outside of the classroom. All of the center’s initiatives are industry-oriented and attempt to maximize students’ opportunities to get involved directly in the real estate industry, both in the classroom and in extracurricular programs.
