MSRED Career Development
Career Development Officer: Emily Griffen, eg2553@columbia.edu
The MSRED program is dedicated to providing meaningful professional development programming and opportunities for networking and mentorship, and employs a full-time career development professional dedicated to real estate students and alumni.
Throughout the academic year, students attend professional development presentations, engage in speed networking with alumni, and participate in the MSRED Alumni Mentorship Program. The program hosts an annual career fair that is attended by top companies in the industry. There are many opportunities for internships and experiential learning projects that enable MSREDs to start immediately applying new skills in professional contexts and make valuable contacts.
The job placement rate for MSRED graduates is excellent (91% for the Class of 2012). Graduates go into positions in development, institutional investment, private equity, consulting, and the public sector. 15% of graduates pursue entrepreneurial projects. The majority of MSRED alumni lives and works in New York City, but the number of graduates working in other domestic markets and international locations is increasing each year.
