Developing the Real Estate Professional: Part I

(1.5 Credits)

This course introduces students interested in commercial real estate to industry-specific career planning and development. Students will gain exposure to self-assessment, career exploration, preparation, and pursuit strategies – all linked to core real estate coursework and aligned both to market trends and expectations. Most immediately, this course provides students with real-world feedback on various real estate roles; guides students in building requisite skills and expertise, with an eye to maximizing resources at NYU; develops students’ professional branding and networking; and prepares students for real estate recruiting. More holistically, this course pushes students to form habits that will support informed, intentional career development over the long-term. Throughout the semester, students engage in several exercises specifically designed to structure and enhance their professional development efforts, culminating in each student producing an individualized reflection and action plan.
