A Continuously Growing Series of Universities with Strong Track Records in The Commercial Real Estate Industry
This list of university profiles will continue to grow with select universities over the years. If you are at a university with a robust and successful commercial real estate undergraduate program with opportunities for undergraduate students to pursue a career in commercial real estate and have not already been in contact with our team, please reach out to us.
Qualifying Programs
The A.CRE team is not in the business of ranking or qualifying schools as top programs. For a program to be considered and included in any of our profile series, we usually look to popular and well established ranking systems such as US News and World Report’s 2020 Best Undergraduate Real Estate Programs. However, if your program is not in any such ranking, but it can be demonstrated that students have access to great resources and job opportunities upon graduation that is on par with the universities already included in this list, then please reach out for more details.
