MASTER OF REAL ESTATE & INFRASTRUCTURE (MREI) Build your career on a solid foundation

BUILD YOUR CAREER ON A SOLID FOUNDATIONGreat buildings need a solid foundation and so do great careers.The 12-month full-time Master of Real Estate and Infrastructure (MREI) is designed to prepare students for long-term career success in the business of real estate and infrastructure. The program will combine theory with practice, focus on the personal growth of its students and connect them to a dynamic network of alumni and industry players.

The MREI is the first graduate program in Canada that offers courses in both real estate and infrastructure. It will build on the reputation and experience of Schulich’s existing MBA specialization in real estate and infrastructure, founded in 1991. Our goal is to develop future leaders in real estate and infrastructure development, investment, finance and operations.

Students of the program and alumni of the MBA specialization in real estate and infrastructure will be involved in organizing and coordinating much of the co-curricular program.

BuiLd YouR CAReeR in undeR 12 montHsStudents of the MREI will take a common set of courses in the first two terms with the option to take either real estate or infrastructure electives in the third and final term. The program also offers an optional internship in Term 3 with a lighter course load and classes scheduled on evenings and weekends.

The backbone of the curriculum is a leadership development course that runs throughout the three terms and serves as a vehicle to integrate learning from every aspect of the student experience.

The MREI is offered on a full-time basis only. Each student must complete 42 credits: 36 required credits + 6 elective credits.
