You will find that graduate students at Cornell benefit from an encompassing core curriculum, combined with a rich, diverse selection of real estate electives allowing for niche specialization—all in close interaction with the largest on-campus real estate faculty in the country; and the classroom is only the beginning!
Cornell real estate education is dedicated to applied learning, highlighted by our Real Estate Project Workshop experience—a final semester capstone course that integrates real estate knowledge with real-world field experience as culmination of your education at Cornell.
Our commitment to high value-added internship and experiential placements is often cited by students and employers alike as a distinguishing feature of the program, and a key to Cornell real estate graduates finding leadership positions in the industry upon graduation. We take pride in the fact that Cornell graduates, given their comprehensive real estate knowledge and professional skills coming out of the Program, enjoy a diversity of employment options.
The returns on their investment continue to emerge over time, not only in professional career advancement but also through membership and participation in the Cornell Real Estate Council and Cornell University's strong alumni network.
