Any value in real estate certificate programs?

Hi,

I’m looking to lateral into the real estate world from management consulting and am wondering if it is worthwhile to complete a certificate program at a university. Essentially, the certificates are a bundle of 5-6 university courses offered by NYU, Cornell, etc.

Would this type of experience help from a learning and/or recruiting perspective?
