Real Estate is a key part of the economy, especially in Metropolitan New York. Decisions made in the real estate industry have consequences not just for the key parties involved, but for all who live and work in New York. Real Estate studies examine the investment, development, and management of real estate assets. Studies in this field provide students with analytical skills and the historical context to understand the real estate business and the regulatory environment. SPS offers a Real Estate course in partnership with CUNY’s Steven L. Newman Real Estate Institute at Baruch College.
