San Diego State University announces its new real estate center

San Diego State University, just minutes from your Mission Valley condo, has announced the formation of The Corky McMillion Center for Real Estate in the College of Business Administration.

Using a donation from the McMillin family, one of San Diego County's largest homebuilding companies, the new real estate center is seen as complementing the Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate at the University of San Diego, also just minutes from your Mission Valley condo.

While both universities offer undergraduate degrees in real estate, the University of San Diego has a specialized Master of Science in Real Estate. San Diego State University, on the other hand, will focus on undergraduate studies, working closely with real estate faculty and the student-run Real Estate Society.

The Center will kick off in January 2010 with Michael Lea as the Center's Director. Lea formerly taught at Cornell University, the University of California at San Diego, and the Wharteon International Housing Finance Program at the University of Pennsylvania, and also held high-level positions at Countrywide, Freddie Mac, and Imperial Corporation of America.

Lea says that the Center "hopes to enhance the educational experience of SDSU real estate majors by connecting students with local real estate professionals and industry observers, as well as fostering academic research." One one of Lea's short-term goals is to bring increased exposure to SDSU's real estate department by offering a program that combines academic rigor with exposure to real-world professionals."
