Reason #1 to Get a Commercial Real Estate Advanced Degree
Once upon a time, commercial real estate was like 19th century law and architecture: you learned by joining a firm and working under the wing of a mentor. But in the last 15 years, advanced degrees of real estate development have come into their own—and the industry's loving grads with the foundational knowledge and skills that guarantee success. Whether you're thinking of going back to school or still at college, an advanced degree—like the one you can get at the University of Maryland's Colvin Institute of Real Estate Development—can set you apart from all your peers.
Saying the job market is crowded could be the understatement of the year. And with thousands of grads competing for jobs, a BA only takes you so far. In fact, many companies don't even factor in bachelor's degrees these days, finding them incomparable to experience and knowledge. But an advanced degree shows that you know your stuff, have worked in the field (to some degree, at least), giving you a huge leg up on the competition.
