The Paul Rubacha Department of Real Estate announces that its Cornell Baker Program in Real Estate’s two-year Master of Professional Studies in Real Estate (MPS-RE) degree has received STEM designation and, beginning later this spring, expects to begin offering a +1 option enabling Cornell students to complete their undergraduate degree and earn the MPS-RE by adding just one year of study.

Both developments are among efforts underway to enhance the value of the Baker Program’s master’s in real estate and open up more opportunities for students to participate in the degree, said Stuart Rosenthal, chair of the Paul Rubacha Department of Real Estate. “It’s a terrific degree and a wonderful launching platform for graduates as they pursue their careers,” he said.

The Paul Rubacha Department of Real Estate is managed between the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning and the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, and faculty from both colleges teach its courses.
