Event Description

Are you considering a graduate degree to launch or advance your career in Commercial Real Estate (CRE) but unsure whether to pursue an MBA or a Master of Real Estate Development (MRED)?

Join us for an insightful panel discussion featuring four accomplished professionals who have taken different paths—two with MBAs and two with MREDs. In this candid conversation, panelists will share their personal experiences and decision-making process, including:

  • Why they chose their respective graduate programs
  • What the application and interview process was like
  • How their programs supported them in securing internships and full-time roles
  • The role each degree played in shaping their career trajectories in commercial real estate

This webinar is designed for prospective students, early-career professionals, and anyone navigating the options for graduate education in CRE. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear firsthand perspectives and ask your questions live.

  • Understand key differences between an MBA and MRED, including curriculum, career paths, and industry roles.
  • Hear firsthand insights on the application process, student experience, and recruiting support from alumni of both programs.
  • Learn how each degree supports long-term success through networking, mentorship, and job placement in commercial real estate.
