LWREC Recieves Final Approval for Commercial Real Estate Masters Program

The Lewis White Real Estate Center received final approval from the Coordinating Board of Higher Education (CBHE) of the University of Missouri system last week to offer a Master’s of Science in Entrepreneurial Real Estate. It is the only Master’s Degree in Real Estate offered by an AACSB Accredited Institution within a 500 mile radius of Kansas City.

For those with a minimum of 5 years of experience in commercial real estate, there will be a 14 month Executive Format that includes instruction by 9 PhD’s (several from outside the area), 5 attorneys, 3 CCIM Instructors and a handful of local specialists in certain specialized areas. It will also include a week of international travel where they will be introduced to real estate professionals in other countries which will build their international networks while learning about Global Real Estate Issues. There will also be the traditional 2 year program offered. Both programs will be commencing in the fall of 2011.
