Back to Nova Southeastern University
Welcome to Nova Southeastern University’s Master of Science in Real Estate Development (MSRED) program offered by the H. Wayne Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship!
Real estate trends are constantly evolving. Increasing populations necessitate new locations, innovative experiences, and novel work paradigms. Addressing these intricate demands requires comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of real estate development. To become a leader in the industry, it is essential to understand the physical components (including design, development, and construction) as well as the financial and legal principles that underpin it.
Our Real Estate program offers an intensive immersion in the core knowledge and skills required for success and leadership in the real estate industry. The MSRED is focused on applied real-world learning using South Florida's dynamic urban markets in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and Palm Beach as laboratories of product innovation, inventiveness in design, financing, sustainability, and marketing.
NSU's MSRED graduates provide immediate value to their current firms or future employers. The program emphasizes practical learning, offering skills and knowledge that can be applied right away. Its curriculum is grounded in real-world experience, with faculty and Executive Council members who are active industry leaders applying what they teach daily in their work. Students benefit from mentorships with renowned industry leaders, networking through a well-established real estate alumni association, and strong ties to industry organizations like ULI, NAIOP, and ICSC. They actively participate in ULI, NAIOP, and ICSC events. The program also strives to connect students with internships that provide meaningful, hands-on experience.
We are committed to helping students succeed in the industry. The program is structured to provide each student with an Executive Mentor for one-on-one mentorship. Mentors are senior real estate executives who guide mentees in their personal and professional development. NSU graduates typically find positions in real estate finance, investment, asset management, development, and consulting with private firms, institutions, and government. The program actively seeks employers for student, graduate, and alumni recruiting and communicates extensively about available positions. The Alumni Group is also an invaluable network resource.
