虽然近些年房地产在我国的热度有所减少，美国很多大学的房地产相关专业就深受同学们的青睐。那么美国哪些大学房地产硕士专业比较好?
1.Columbia University(哥伦比亚大学)
Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and PreservationMaster of Science in Real Estate Development
跨学科项目，一共有3个学期，夏季开课，创造性地将专业房地产的基本技能与城市发展的整体方法相结合。以全球城市房地产开发的三大核心原则为基础：金融、实体和法律。适合未来希望经营自己的设计/建造公司的建筑师。该项目的优势在于它能够结合最新的行业知识和最佳实践，以及严格的理论学习，敏锐的批判性分析和身临其境的真实案例研究。
课程设置：
daIntensive Summer Semester+Expansive Fall Semester+Integrated Spring Semester
Intensive Summer Semester: Real estate finance, construction technology, market analytics, and other foundational subjects, etc.
Expansive Fall Semester: Particularly in finance, history of development, and real estate law + significant elective opportunities.
Integrated Spring Semester: A cross-disciplinary portfolio of independent and supervised research and coursework: capstone projects, complex financial and economic modeling, and public policy, etc.
专业背景要求：
M.S. RED applicants may hold undergraduate and graduate degrees in a wide range of fields. While graduate and professional academic preparation in development-related disciplines, such as architecture, finance, law, urban design, historic preservation, civil engineering, or urban planning is highly desirable, it is not essential for admission to the program.
作为一个交叉学科，房地产管理其实比较喜欢背景多元化的学生，转专业申请也是可以考虑的。
语言要求：
托福没有明确说明最低分要求，但不接受雅思。
GMAT or GRE均可。
工作背景要求：
学校没有明确工作经验的年限，但强烈建议有相关工作经验的人申请，如果是应届生，优秀的实习经验是必不可少的。
点评：哥大有着NYC得天独厚的地理优势，实习资源以及与行业专家交流的机会都很多，非常适合networking。和industry circle的联系十分紧密，面对的都是最好的公司，最好的专家。
2. MIT(麻省理工学院)
Center for Real Estate
Master of Science in Real Estate Development
项目创办于1983年，是美国第一个one-year的房地产硕士项目，是一年制RE硕士的代表。MSRED是一个严谨、集中、多学科、面向直接应用的项目。MIT建立Center for Real Estate和MSRED项目的宗旨与建立世界著名的工程学院相同——以有效、创造性的方式将学术发现应用于实际问题。与MIT的多学科方法相呼应，MSRED项目调查了影响房地产行业的每一个领域——从设计和开发到建筑、管理、金融和法律。凭借只有一流技术机构才能提供的专业知识，该项目整合了包括School of Architecture and Urban Planning, the School of Engineering, the Department of Economics, and the Sloan School of Business Management在内的资源。
项目会有一个summer term供学生选择实习或者其他实践机会，因此一般在11-16个月内完成。

如果工作经验只有0-3年，可以申请2017年创办的The Young Leaders MSRED Program targeting extremely talented students with shorter industry experience.
3. Cornell University(康奈尔大学)
Baker Program in Real Estate
Master of Professional Studies in Real Estate
如果说MIT的MSRED是一年制的代表，这个M.P.S./R.E就是两年制的代表。MPS = Master of Professional Studies，都是职业性的硕士学位，后面用“/”加上具体专业以示区分;MPS是可以和MBA相比较的，是比MBA更加focus在房地产方向上，而不是MBA in Real Estate。这个跨学科项目结合了康奈尔几乎所有学院的课程，专为处于职业生涯早期的有抱负的房地产专业人士设计。
课程设置：
一共有62个学分，
38.5 credit hours of core course requirements

点评：该项目的课程设置相当全面，任何一个没有房地产背景的人在接受了这样的教育后没有理由不成为一个跨门类的专家。core courses里包括Seminar Series和Project Workshop，后者是所有二年级学生都参加的实战性的项目，capstone course，是非常难得的经验。Leadership and Management Distribution主要培养领导和管理技能，例如Business Ethics, Negotiation, Cross-cultural Management, Decision Making等等，非常实用。
4. New York University(纽约大学)

MS in Real Estate Development
