MSRED or MBA? Looking to make a pivot from middle office Asset management to a RE finance or development role via a graduate degree. Would an MSRED (from Columbia) be more applicable than an MBA? Or would I have a better shot with the MBA (also from CBS or NYU)

For add’l context—the opportunity cost is high since I make a decent >120k TC. But my pay potential is limited in my role, and I like the college environment

Personally, I would do the MBA. It is a more generally applicable degree. And you can easily tailor what you’re going to do in the MBA program to comercial real estate.

If you are focused on real estate and know that’s where you want to work MSRED will treat you better. If you think you want to be in real estate, MBA is the route.

Thanks for any advice.
