Graduate Certificate in Real Estate Online
Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Real Estate
Drexel's online Graduate Certificate in Real Estate seeks to produce professionals with the necessary knowledge and skills required to be successful, and who have a clear perspective on the issues in the real estate development process and the industry as a whole.
Students develop the skills required to create, maintain, and build environments for living, working and entertainment purposes. Relevant issues include project finance, real estate as investments, design & construction, operations, development law, environmental remediation, public policy, market analysis, and architecture.
Graduates of the Certificate in Real Estate program will gain skills required to build, create and maintain living, working and leisure environments.
This part-time certificate program can be taken as a stand-alone professional development credential or as a step toward our MS in Construction Management.
