The admissions committee evaluates each element in a candidate's application as part of the whole. Selection is based on an individual's record and on their potential to expand the diversity of the class.

The admissions committee looks for highly qualified candidates who have an extensive amount of professional Real Estate work experience (3-5 years), a strong academic background, as well as clear and focused goals and objectives. Due to the work experience requirement, we do not admit students directly out of undergraduate studies.


Interviews are not part of the admissions process. However, We schedule an open house each Fall on campus to give prospective applicants an opportunity to discuss the program with faculty, students, and alumni. The Center also encourages prospective applicants to visit the MIT/MSRED and sit in on a class. Alumni of the program provide another source of information and assistance during the admissions process. Contact the MSRED program for information about alumni who work in your area.
