RWU Launches Innovative Graduate Certificate 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 offers wide-ranging coursework that spans topics in design, finance, management, construction, regulatory affairs, environmental conditions, and social policy. Additionally, the certificate addresses the impact of real estate on individuals, households, and communities in terms of access to education, economic opportunity, and safe environments.
