Within the H. Wayne Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship, students may complete a Master of Science in Real Estate Development (M.S.R.E.D.).
After successfully completing a four-year undergraduate degree at Nova Southeastern University (see requirements chart below), students are eligible to immediately start their master’s program and receive an Alumni Tuition Award.
A master’s degree can be achieved within 1 1/2 years. Students take a mixture of online classes and weekend (Saturday) classes. Master’s courses are taught by faculty with real-world experience and/or doctoral degrees in their field of study.

ELIGIBILITY
To be considered for this Dual Admission program, there are some requirements you must meet. Undergraduate Admission Requirements are for first-time freshmen students applying to earn a bachelor’s degree. Graduate Admission Requirements are the standards students need to maintain while earning their undergraduate degree to remain eligible for the graduate or professional program.
Undergraduate Admission Requirements
Graduate Admission Requirements
Keep your dual admission status while you earn your bachelor’s.
Dual Admission reserves your seat in NSU’s Master of Science in Real Estate Development program, but you must still complete a graduate application once you finish your bachelor’s degree.
Keep in mind that these are the basic requirements, and final determination of admission into the professional program is at the discretion of the College of Business and Entrepreneurship.
Degree Required
You must complete a bachelor’s degree in any major you choose. Additional prerequisites may be communicated upon admission.
Undergraduate GPA
You must maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA.
Additional Requirements
College credits that were earned through advanced high school programs such as AP, IB or college academy—or in summer coursework following high school graduation, prior to attending NSU—may transfer to NSU.
Students who enter NSU with earned college credits through advanced high school programs may be able to complete their degree and program requirements earlier than scheduled and request to enter their graduate professional programs earlier as well.
Please contact your admissions representative for more details regarding high school transfer credits.
