About the Real Estate Program

The Real Estate program at USD was established in the early 1990s and has since evolved into a dynamic and highly regarded program. We offer a Master of Science in Real Estate (MSRE) degree, along with both a major and a minor in real estate at the undergraduate level. Graduate students also have the option to pursue dual degrees, including the MBA/MSRE and JD/MSRE. With over 400 undergraduate majors and minors, real estate is the second most popular field of study at USD.

The program is supported by the Burham-Moores Center for Real Estate (BMC), a center of excellence fully funded by the real estate industry. The mission of the BMC is “to help recruit, educate and mentor a diverse group of real estate students with the goal of facilitating their career pursuits in a socially responsible manner and with a global perspective and in collaboration with the real estate industry.” This mission is achieved through the support of outstanding faculty and professional staff, dedicated career services, scholarship offerings, active industry involvement and outreach, and relevant and applied research. Recently, the Center completed a major capital campaign, raising more than $11 million for scholarships and faculty support.
