Welcome

Welcome to Portland State University's Center for Real Estate!

Portland State has been offering courses in real estate development, real estate finance, and urban development for over thirty years. In the last five years, we have created new degree programs to meet the needs of professionals in the real estate industry, both private and public sector, as well as those seeking entry-level positions in the industry.

In 2004, the Center for Real Estate was formed as a partnership between PSU's acclaimed Schools of Urban Studies and Planning and Business Administration to manage the real estate programs at Portland State and serve as the vital link between the University and the real estate community. Consisting of a Director and Assistant Director, the Center staff work with employers to not only meet their internship and employment needs, but also provide them with valuable updates on the real estate industry through the Center's annual real estate conference.

PSU offers three real estate degree programs: a Graduate Certificate in Real Estate Development, an Undergraduate Major in Real Estate Finance, and an Undergraduate Minor in Real Estate Development. Courses are taught by faculty from both the Nohad Toulan School of Urban Studies and Planning and the School of Business Administration.

We welcome you to take an online tour of our Center and PSU's real estate curriculum through this website, and encourage you to become involved in our Center, either as a student, employer, or supporter.

Cheers,

Gerard Mildner, Ph.D.
Director, Center for Real Estate
