The curriculum combines the research and expertise of university professors and instructors with the practical knowledge and experience of industry leaders from among NCREIF’s member organizations. Our line-up of faculty are globally-renowned thought leaders, practitioners, and sought-after consultants in these topics and are great instructors. The program blends the vast experience of NCREIF with the technical prowess of faculty from universities whose academic careers have also involved working with institutional real estate investors.

Students will be exposed to case studies, hands on analysis of investments, and the use of NCREIF’s, and other databases, to evaluate markets and funds, and construct indices. Students will also find this to be an excellent networking opportunity with their industry peers.
