Course Overview
We educate our real estate students to develop for a Quadruple Bottom Line concerned not only for the old-fashioned financial bottom line, but more broadly for Economic Viability, Environmental Respect, Social Responsibility and Beautiful Design. Besides undertaking the work in your courses, you will find multiple opportunities to interact with industry professionals, many of whom will come to lecture in your classes or work with you on your capstone project. In addition, we encourage early and frequent involvement with one of the many development trade associations located in this region. The program addresses all aspects of real estate. It is multidisciplinary and focuses on developments that will deliver for a Quadruple Bottom Line-- one that is Financially Viable, Environmentally Respectful, Socially Responsible, and Beautifully Designed. Finance, the original bottom line, will not be left out, but is taught as part of the whole, with advanced courses for those who wish to emphasize that aspect of development. A degree in real estate development should prepare each student to be the orchestra leader. He or she should know not only how to find the development opportunities, but effectively engage bankers, investors, architects, contractors, lawyers and accountants, as well as how to bring the project in on time and assure dynamic marketing and effective property management. In sum, the program is designed to educate its students (1) in an academic and systematic way of thinking as well as (2) in the practicalities of developing livable and sustainable neighborhoods, communities and cities.
