The Baker Difference
Two years
Rather than simply scratching the surface with a one-year course of study, the two-year Baker Program fully prepares you to become an expert and leader in the industry.
Concentrations
At the end of the first semester, students, in collaboration with their advisors, select a concentration—an area of specialized expertise that distinguishes them in the industry
Internship
A summer internship between the first and second year typically aligns with your chosen area of concentration, and gives you a distinct edge in a finding leadership positions in the industry upon graduation
Treks
In between the fall and spring semesters, Baker students embark on week-long domestic or international site visits that include meetings with alumni and local real estate leaders, and exploration of a variety of environments around the world
