  The MIT Center for Real Estate (MIT/CRE) at MIT has a long tradition of scholarship in real estate economics and finance. The Center established the first Master of Science degree program in Real Estate Development in the United States, launched in 1983. In keeping with MIT's ethos of harnessing technology to make the world better, the center's scholarly tradition is interdisciplinary, spanning and synergizing across economics and finance, urban design and development, technology and sustainability. MIT/CRE was founded in 1983 by MIT alum Charles "Hank" Spaulding, CE'51. A prominent real estate developer himself, Spaulding had the vision to improve the quality of the built environment and to promote a more informed professional practice in the real estate industry. Educating the men and women whose innovations will serve the industry worldwide, the MIT Center for Real Estate is home to the first one-year Master of Science in Real Estate Development (MSRED) degree, as well as an intensive two-week Professional Certificate in Real Estate Finance and Development. Uniting industry leaders with MIT's distinguished researchers and students, our diversified industry partnership program advances the art and science of global real estate, bridging the gap between theory and practice.
