Program Description

  • STEM designated program

Prepare students to be leaders in real estate profession and address the significant built environment challenges of the 21st century: sustainability, gentrification, poverty, the decline of brick and mortar retail and the shifts in demographics. Students will learn to address economic, social, and ecological issues when developing commercial, industrial, institutional, or mixed use and residential real estate development projects.

By focusing on the quadruple bottom line of real estate development and combining environmental and economic sustainability, social consciousness, design excellence, financial feasibility and economic viability, students gain first-hand experience how real estate development invigorates communities and shapes healthy places to live, work, and play. Using the city of greater Philadelphia area as a living laboratory, students learn to approach projects at various scales, ranging from a single building to an entire districts or neighborhoods.

Students have the option of taking classes in person at our East Falls Campus, or take part in an online, low-residency cohort. This cohort meets in person once a semester with other MSRED students and faculty in Philadelphia or another city in the region, while fulfilling all other requirements in a live online learning environment.

A faculty of industry experts and practitioners provide real-world insight into the sustainable and equitable practices, legal aspects of land-use, city and regional planning, and construction science and management. Much of the course work is collaborative, including case study analysis, group projects, and real-world problem solving. The Jefferson experience helps students build a network of professional contacts and resources. The Jefferson experience helps students build a network of professional contacts and resources.
