The Mountain West (Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming) is the nation's fastest growing region. By 2040, the region will double in population to more than 30 million people with nearly 20 million jobs. Most of the existing built environment will be rebuilt. Several trillion dollars will be spent on development in the region over the next generation. Real estate professionals will play a leading role in the development and redevelopment of the region. To meet the educational needs of professionals working in real estate, the University of Utah offers the Graduate Certificate in Real Estate.

The over-arching objective of the GCRE is to help society meet its growing needs for rigorous professionally-based preparation in real estate development. Particular objectives include providing GCRE students with foundations in:

• Market research
• Net present value analysis
• Information tools for real estate research
• Urban development methods and policies

The GCRE is an 18 credit hour program drawing from courses exclusively in business and architecture + planning. The pre-requisites for admission to the program include status as a graduate student at the University of Utah in good standing, and FINAN 3040 – Fundamentals of Corporate Finance or its equivalent from the University of Utah or elsewhere. The following table presents the curriculum.
