The Marshall Bennett Institute of Real Estate at Roosevelt University (MBIRE) recently celebrated its graduates in a spring commencement ceremony held at the Auditorium Theater. Despite current economic challenges, MBIRE reported 92% of its undergraduate and graduate degree program graduates from the 2022-2023 academic year had secured employment in the real estate industry upon graduation.
Collete English Dixon, executive director of MBIRE commented on this success: “Our programs, curriculum and experiential learning give undergraduates a head start in understanding the industry and help graduates enhance their current experience for more successful outcomes. This means they can be engaged with their company faster with a shorter learning curve – an important factor for any business.” During this academic year 12 students graduated from MBIRE; five receiving bachelor’s degrees and seven receiving master’s degrees.
