Continental Realty Extends Multi-Year Pledge to NCCU’s MBA in Real Estate Program
Baltimore, MD-based Continental Realty Corporation has pledged multi-year support to a new real estate concentration within the North Carolina Central University School of Business Master of Business Administration program.
The curriculum, designed to prepare students for executive positions in commercial, residential and corporate real estate, is the first program of its kind initiated among the 101 historically black colleges and universities in the US.
“African Americans are significantly underrepresented in commercial real estate investment and management roles,” said Anthony C. Nelson, Ph.D., dean of the North Carolina Central University School of Business. “Quality education, coupled with real-world interaction with real estate investors and managers, provides the path for advancement and opportunity.
“It is essential to develop the next wave of talent, and to make sure that talent comes from a much more diverse pool than it has previously,” said CRC COO David Donato, who has been chosen to serve on the program’s advisory board.
