The Practicum involves a two-month supervised placement of an MRE student in a United States or international private for-profit, private not-for-profit, or public real estate organization to participate in ongoing real estate projects that advance beneficial spatial, social, and environmental outcomes. Practicum placements are arranged by the MRE program and matched to the interests of each student and each Practicum partner. Students attend a Practicum Prep seminar during fall and spring terms, meet remotely from time to time during the summer with fellow students and faculty, and return to the GSD for a several-day concluding session during which they will engage in discussions and presentations and submit a final paper.
