Real Estate Development Practicum

(1 Credit Hour) · Undergraduate

For students interested in the real estate, this course is a great opportunity to advance your understanding of the real estate industry, gain practical experience and collaborate with real estate professionals and like-minded peers. The course is organized around the Harold E. Eisenberg Foundation's Annual Real Estate Challenge (http://eisenbergfoundation.org/real-estate-education/real-estate-challenge/). A team of up to 10 Notre Dame students will compete against the best and brightest from other schools to develop, prepare, and present a business plan for a high-profile development/redevelopment project in the Chicago Metropolitan area. The team's efforts will be guided by a professor and two professional advisors, all Notre Dame alumni, who work day to day in real estate. The course deliverables will be a written report and an oral presentation delivered to a board of judges in Chicago. Students on previous teams found the experience both fun and academically enriching.
