Real Estate Investing Program by Columbia Business School 2026

It takes place at Manhattanville campus in New York City.

The program is intended for professionals on the periphery of real estate and people without a real estate background who want to build or improve their sector knowledge.

It is worth considering for professionals who sit next to the real estate business, such as lenders, advisers or entrepreneurs, and who need to understand commercial property investing without a background in it, since the six-session program centres on acquiring and managing income-producing commercial properties. Experienced real estate investors or developers would get less from it, because the program is built for people applying existing business knowledge to a new sector, and only one faculty member, Tomasz Piskorski, is listed.

Participants in executive education programs at business schools usually wear business casual, and a New York campus setting points to slacks and a collared shirt or equivalent rather than full suits.
