The Franklin L. Burns School of Real Estate and Construction Management at the Daniels College of Business provides a one-of-a-kind education. With an emphasis on the business of the built environment, The Burns School programs are designed to equip you with the skills necessary to succeed. Our degrees provide students with an understanding of the full life cycle of the built environment while acquiring expertise in three concentrations of their choice in Real Estate Finance and Investments, Real Estate Development and Construction Management. This is an advantage as courses are taught from a managerial point of view, as opposed to the strictly technical programs often found in schools of architecture, engineering or technology. Finance, marketing, accounting, management and sustainability are integrated into your degree to provide an even greater competitive edge. Students in the Burns School have the opportunity to see classroom theory come alive in the city of Denver, a wonderful urban laboratory for applications, research and internships.

The placement record for Burns School graduates has traditionally been very strong. Most of these jobs are a result of professor-industry contacts. Careers for students interested in Real Estate include acquisitions, real estate finance/underwriting, real estate development, investment fund/asset managers, property management, real estate appraisers, real estate asset management, real estate leasing, and transactions/brokerage. On the Construction Management side, careers include project management, corporate real estate, facilities management, and cost estimators.
