Graduate MSRE Questions- University of Central Florida Program Opinion

I am a political science major from Florida State University with a limited knowledge of commercial real estate. I am currently looking into MSRE options to break into commercial real estate and the UCF program starts in Fall of 2019.This program would set me apart in terms of contacts, network, Excel modeling, Argus Certification, and a path to CCIM. Economically it makes the most sense to do this program while I'm living with parents and reduce debt/loan, burden.

However, I am wondering if this is limiting because it's a in-state program if I wanted to work in a big city like New York, Chicago, etc or if that doesn't make much of a difference. . I would love to hear some of your guys insights, thanks!

 

The limiting factor would be brand. I have no idea if UCF's program is well-regarded in-state (it very well could be), but it will have very limited regard out of state. Not negative - just that no one will have heard of it.

There are a number of other programs to look into if you want to stay in-state which would give you a more national brand, such as Florida's or Miami's.
