The Vieth Institute for Real Estate Leadership provides interdisciplinary education rooted in applied, experiential learning. Uniting the resources and expertise in the colleges of Law, Engineering and Business Administration, the Vieth Institute will provide unique, comprehensive instruction to the next generation of commercial real estate leaders.
This institute will draw on the legacy of the College of Business Administration's Center for Real Estate, a program that has consistently garnered national recognition for its thought leadership, student outcomes, instructional design and community engagement. Expanding that work across disciplines will lead to greater positive impact on students, higher education and the commercial real estate profession. Read more in Marquette Today...
