The Master of Science in Real Estate (MSRE) program offered through the Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate is an intensive study of real estate, in which critical emphasis is placed on providing real-life learning opportunities to students. Most students attend the cohort full-time and complete the program in one year. At the MSRE level, and in all academic programs offered through the Burnham-Moores Center, emphasis is placed on creating socially responsible leaders both in and outside of the workplace. Discussions of the political, social and environmental implications of real estate decisions, as well as their ethical dimensions, are incorporated throughout the curriculum.

Founded in 1993, the University of San Diego’s Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate is committed to delivering outstanding education, industry outreach, career and research services to advance socially responsible leadership in the real estate profession. As part of the University’s School of Business Administration, the Center offers a Master of Science in Real Estate degree, an undergraduate minor in real estate, a Certificate in Real Estate Finance, Investments and Development, a Certificate in Land Use and Sustainable Community Development and several major industry conferences throughout the year.
