The real estate program was founded in 1993. A $5 million gift named and endowed the Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate (BMC) in 2004. The University of San Diego’s (USD) real estate faculty, the BMC team and members of the real-estate community provide curriculum at the undergraduate and graduate levels, while simultaneously creating a wide range of career-oriented opportunities for students outside of the classroom.

Graduate students benefit from the progressive and relevant Master of Science in Real Estate (MSRE) curriculum built collaboratively by outstanding faculty and real estate practitioners. Graduate students also have the opportunity to obtain dual degrees, either MBA/MSRE or JD/MSRE degrees. USD’s undergraduate real estate program offers students the ability to receive a major or minor  in real estate. The Burnham-Moores Center, in collaboration with USD’s Continuing Education department, also offers a Real Estate Finance, Investments and Development Certificate for industry professionals who want to expand their practical knowledge base.
