The 10 credits of elective courses required for the completion of either MSRE standing can be taken across campus among graduate level courses or courses at the 400 level at different time slots.
All required and elective courses for each of the standings can be downloaded at: Regular or Advance standing.
The MSRE curriculum covers 4 main areas: Business Skills, Technical & Software Skills, Real Estate Core classes, and a final capstone course.
