Mentoring and Career Services
Mentoring
The Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate Mentor Program pairs real estate industry executives with Master of Science in Real Estate students according to shared areas of interest. The pair communicates regularly by phone, e-mail and in-person to discuss the student's academic progress and career goals and how best to achieve them.
Career Services
Internships provide authentic work experience and help students determine the pros and cons of various real estate related fields. They can also lead to full-time job opportunities after graduation and provide valuable professional references.
The center's staff is committed to helping students succeed in their internships and will prepare them for internships by personally reviewing their resumes, discussing various real estate careers, and providing interviewing tips prior to the application process.
The Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate has a variety of internships available for undergraduate and graduate students. Hours worked and compensation are generally negotiable. Real estate students are strongly urged to take advantage of the center’s internship opportunities as early as possible--typically the first semester of junior year for undergraduates and at any time as graduate students.
