The Degree of Master of Land Economics and Real Estate

Through its Department of Finance, the Mays Business School offers a non-thesis program leading to the degree of Master of Land Economics and Real Estate (MLERE). This program of study in the Mays Business School is offered with the close cooperation of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and uses appropriate educational offerings throughout the University.

This professional curriculum is primarily designed to provide broad preparation for the practice of real estate appraisal and the economic analysis of land use. In addition, students may avail themselves of traditional University strengths in a wide range of supporting areas and departments in order to prepare themselves for careers in real estate appraisal and management.

Most holders of a bachelor's degree in business administration will normally be prepared to go directly into graduate courses leading to the MLERE degree. Others may be required to take preprofessional courses to fulfill prerequisites and the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) requirements.
