Practicum

The Practicum is a summer-term two-month requirement which places MRE students within a United States or international real estate organization to participate in an ongoing real estate project that advances beneficial spatial, social, and environmental outcomes.

The MRE program arranges placements based on the interests of each student and Practicum organization. Students attend a Practicum Prep Seminar led by MRE faculty during fall and spring semester at the GSD. During the summer Practicum, students are guided by an employee of the Practicum organization and meet remotely from time to time with one of the Practicum faculty. Students return to the GSD for a several days at the end of their summer term during which they discuss and compare their Practicum experiences.
