到2030年，美国将需要近4,270亿平方英尺的全新和翻新生活空间。届时，将在2000年后建造一半在用建筑物。与此同时，全国各地的市区都需要更新。这意味着我们将看到一连串的房地产开发活动，在房地产开发，城市规划以及社区和经济发展等领域创造了大量的机会。我们16个小时的房地产开发研究生证书是唯一的印第安纳州的此类证书将使您为满足这一蓬勃发展的需求做好准备。您可以将证书视为通过为可持续社区，可负担和宜居社区以及社区经济发展而工作来促进公共利益的一种方式。您也可以寻求它作为城市和区域规划或企业管理硕士课程的入口
By 2030, the United States will need nearly 427 billion square feet of new and renovated living space. By then, half of the buildings in use will have been constructed after 2000. Meanwhile, downtown districts across the country need renewal. This means we will see a flurry of real estate development—creating a surge of opportunity in fields such as property development, urban planning, and community and economic development. You may view the certificate as a way to promote the public interest by working for sustainable communities, affordable and livable communities, and community economic development. You might also seek it as an entryway to a master’s program in urban and regional planning or business administration. A limited number of credit hours earned for the certificate can apply toward these graduate degrees.
