Residing in the School of Architecture, the real estate program complements existing School of Architecture graduate programs in Facilities Management, Sustainability, Historic Preservation, Urban Place making, and City and Regional Planning as well as the undergraduate program in Construction Management

The mission of Pratt’s Master of Science (MS) in Real Estate Practice (REP) is to educate and train students in the core discipline and skills of real estate practice. The goal of the program is to develop students with the capacity to practice the business of real estate with a focus on public/private partnership, as well as housing and urban development, with a commitment to achieving The Three E’s of sustainability economy, equity, and environment. A key objective is to graduate students as real estate practitioners with the core skills to secure professional employment in the field of real estate business.

The increasing role of public-private partnerships means that real estate professionals interact with a much broader interdisciplinary team to urban development. In addition, the goals of sustainability economic development, social equity, and environmental stewardship are increasingly integrated into development planning. Similarly, achieving community-based development goals have become essential to the development process. Real estate professionals today thus need flexibility to practice across sectors while ensuring financial viability.

The REP program prepares graduates to seek employment in the field by complementing one of the core competencies of Pratt Institute education in the design and development of the built environment. The Pratt School of Architecture is a key setting for educating future real estate development professionals because of the interdisciplinary character of its programs. Students in the REP program will gain in-depth understanding of the core knowledge areas of real estate development practiced across the country and will develop interdisciplinary collaborative skills within the School of Architecture academic community.
