A comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and flexible real estate degree
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
Internships
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 site visits that include meetings with alumni and local real estate leaders, and exploration of a variety of environments around the world
