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 services and cutting-edge research to advance socially responsible leadership in real estate.
