Property Management

About the Program

The Master of Science in Property Management provides graduate study for experienced managers with undergraduate degrees in areas outside of property management or real estate. Property managers operate in a very complex environment and their roles have evolved from handling day-to-day challenges to being actively involved in strategic leadership. Currently, property managers are challenged to balance the needs of owners, tenants, contractors, and government entities. They are expected to be creative participants in setting strategic policies involving development, risk, finance, marketing, human resources, and technology. Property management is a very high-level profession and successful property managers are responsible for thousands of tenants, thousands of units, millions of rent dollars, hundreds of employees, and multi-million dollar investments.

Students complete core foundation courses and three elective courses where they have the choice of selecting a variety of courses or creating an area of specialism based on their professional interests. The elective courses feature special strategies employed to manage and market a variety of industry segments. All students participate in a culminating experience involving two capstone courses, one featuring current issues and the other involving the completion of a major research project and presentation to a board of industry leaders.

Courses will be offered in the fall, winter, spring, and summer, allowing students an opportunity to complete all degree requirements within two years. The program is currently offered online.
