The combined Bachelor's + Master's degree programs allow students to complete 12 graduate credit hours while still undergraduates. These three graduate level courses will count toward both the undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
DePaul Undergraduate Degree + Real Estate (MS)
The Master of Science in Real Estate offers students a focused degree program of specialized courses in real estate analysis, development, finance, valuation, investment, planning and public policy. Courses are taught by both academics and professionals and are frequently team taught by a combination of the two. Casework and teamwork are hallmarks of the program, providing opportunities to develop communication and leadership skills.
Students emerge from the program with strong exposure to real estate content, concepts and practices as well as a sold array of skills that can be adapted to the evolving and inherently multi-disciplinary real estate industry.
DePaul degree-seeking undergraduate students interested in earning a Master of Science in Real Estate may apply to the bachelor's degree/Real Estate (MS) combined program. Students may be able to obtain both degrees in as few as five years.
Admission
Students must formally apply and be admitted to the Department of Real Estate before beginning their graduate coursework. Undergraduate students who meet the following criteria may apply to this program:
- Junior standing or higher (at least 88.0 credits)
- A minimum cumulative DePaul grade point average of 3.20
Students participating in this program will typically take three graduate level courses from the four classes below:
| Course | Title | Quarter Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Select three from the following: | 12 | |
| URBAN PLANNING AND PUBLIC POLICY | ||
| LEGAL ISSUES IN REAL ESTATE | ||
| PROJECT MANAGEMENT: DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION | ||
| MULTIFAMILY HOUSING POLICY AND FINANCE | ||
Three courses may double-count up to 12 credits towards both degree programs. The undergraduate degree will be awarded at the completion of all undergraduate work while the MSRE will be awarded upon completion of the remaining graduate level work.
