Based on the most helpful WSO content, when comparing MBA programs for Real Estate at USC and UCLA, it's important to consider several factors:
USC: The University of Southern California offers an MBA with a strong real estate component, but it's particularly known for its MRED (Master of Real Estate Development) program. The MRED is a specialized degree focusing primarily on real estate development, but it doesn't pigeonhole graduates into that field alone. USC has a dominant presence in the Southern California real estate market, and the networking opportunities within the region are significant. The program offers hands-on interaction between students and staff, and many guest speakers are USC MRED alumni.
UCLA: The Anderson School of Management at UCLA offers an MBA program with a real estate track. UCLA's program is well-regarded and has a strong alumni network within the real estate industry. The program is known for its practical approach to education and its location in Los Angeles provides ample opportunities for networking and recruitment.
When choosing between the two, consider your career goals, the specific curriculum and focus of each program, the network and recruitment opportunities, and the overall fit for you. Both institutions have strong reputations in the real estate sector, so you may want to engage with alumni or current students and attend informational sessions to get a better feel for each program's culture and offerings.

Somewhat related, has anyone done the MSRED from USC? I've only heard good things about it. There's a part time option as well for evenings.
UCLA will have more RE students (which leads to an Anderson-specific RE network). USC has a better all around network. I would say it depends on where you plan to reside post grad too
Thanks for the reply. I plan on staying in southern California. I'll likely apply to USC, UCLA, Haas, and maybe one or two east coast (upenn). Goal would be to maximize GMAT and odds of getting a good scholarship. That will probably drive a lot of it but wanted to get everyone's thoughts
Do the MRED from USC
MBA is worthless from either school now
the MRED from USC looks pretty sweet. The placement looks amazing as well. Do you know people who went/did you go?
why do you say that? seeing opposite on the East Coast in terms of MSRED vs MBA
