RWU Launches Interdisciplinary Master's Degree in Real Estate
Far from merely buying and selling homes, the field of real estate is expanding rapidly and the factors that impact the ability to access, afford, build, and sustain housing are incredibly complex. This new program, and an accompanying graduate certificate, offers wide-ranging coursework that spans topics in design, finance, management, construction, regulatory affairs, environmental conditions, and social policy. The degree can be completed on a full-time or part-time basis with hybrid evening and online coursework.

Graduate students at RWU study at one of two campuses: our main campus, situated on scenic Mount Hope Bay in Bristol, RI, and our metro campus, located in the heart of the state capital, Providence, RI. Each campus plays a vital role in the University's commitment to supporting and growing the local economy and providing vital resources to nonprofit organizations, corporations, and municipal governments throughout the State of Rhode Island.
A Passion for Forensic Psychology
Morgan Branco always liked psychology and law, but knew that she didn’t want to be a lawyer. She researched other career paths that combine psychology and law and discovered forensic psychology. Now, she is passionate about the field.
“Being able to assess and help underserved populations is always something I’ve been interested in,” she said.
Branco is now pursuing her PsyD at Nova Southeastern University and is the president of the Forensic Advocates for Rehabilitation and Reintegration (FARR) there.
