A Program for Future Real Estate Developers
Nova Southeastern University’s Dual Admission program in Real Estate Development saves your spot in one of the country’s most comprehensive master’s-level real estate programs while you earn your bachelor’s degree.
The Master of Science in Real Estate Development is a full-immersion program, giving you the hands-on experience you need to enter the workforce ready to make bold moves. You’ll even learn from case studies of actual South Florida projects.
Our executive format is taught by industry experts with a combined curriculum of classes, in-field case studies and real-world projects. You can dive into different specialties, with focuses on urban and suburban redevelopment, economical and environmentally sustainable real estate, and entrepreneurship in real estate companies.
All the things that I learned at NSU I use at my job every day. Real-world experiences augmented by what we learned in class was the best part of the program.

Program Overview
A Dual Admission program in real estate development is available to qualified freshman and transfer students, allowing them to complete the combined bachelor's and master’s degrees in as little as 5 1/2 years, depending on incoming college credits. 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 dual admission and fill your reserved seat in graduate or professional
school, there are some requirements you must meet. Undergraduate Admission Requirements are first-time in college students and transfer 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.
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.
