Diversity & Equity

MIT and the Center for Real Estate (CRE) strive to create a welcoming place where people from a diverse range of backgrounds can grow and thrive as a community.

We’re committed to bringing underrepresented groups into the field of commercial real estate both as an academic area of study and also as professionals shaping the future of the practice. To advance this mission, the Center has opened an application assistance program: Closing the GAAP, as well as dedicates fellowship support for admitted minority and underrepresented MSRED candidates toward tuition, and sponsors the annual on-campus Real Estate Exchange Jumpstart Program (REEX).

We are also committed to the principle of equal opportunity in education and employment. Please see MIT’s Diversity Statement and Nondiscrimination Policy for more information.
