Romina RosadoAs someone who has been out of the classroom environment for close to a decade, Romina Rosado describes her recent global affairs course at NYU-SCPS as “a great way to improve my analytical thinking and start learning again.”

Schack Institute Goes Green With New Certificate Program

The new Certificate in Sustainable Design, Construction, and Development program, which begins in fall 2009, is yet another offering that keeps the Schack Institute of Real Estate’s curriculum current with the industry’s needs and the job market’s demands.

“Sustainability imposes complex obligations on our industry, but also presents financial opportunities for builders, investors, and managers,” says Divisional Dean D. Kenneth Patton. “Our institute created this certificate program to clear a career path to this invaluable field for future real estate practice.”

Robert Morgenstern, academic director of continuing education programs, flags the specialty as a current area of opportunity, citing an annual conference on sustainable building technology held in Boston that saw its attendance increase by 30 percent last year. The certificate is awarded for the successful completion of two required courses, covering the fundamentals of building and maintaining properties in the most environmentally responsible and economically efficient ways, as well as two electives.
