Today's real estate professionals must succeed across the \"triple bottom line,\" ensuring their work is financially, socially, and environmentally sound. Not only must their projects meet these goals, but they are responsible to those who invest, live, and work in and around their properties. Consequently, students wishing to work in real estate must learn to anticipate their work's economic, social, and environmental implications and effectively manage them in cooperation with urban planners, designers, engineers, investors, lenders, stakeholders, and politicians. Students will graduate with the skills necessary to oversee real estate projects that respond to the complex challenges facing the built environment, including public health, climate change, financial risk, affordable housing, displacement, and more. This program is designed to teach students to maximize positive social and environmental outcomes during profitable real estate management, sales, investing, and development.
