Free Course: Intro to the Quadruple Bottom Line of Real Estate Development

At Thomas Jefferson University, we believe real estate has a quadruple bottom line combining financial feasibility with environmental sustainability, social consciousness, and design excellence. Join the College of Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) and the MS in Real Estate Development (MSRED) for a free course to take the next step in your real estate development career.

This introductory course, Intro to the Quadruple Bottom Line of Real Estate Development is ideal for anyone who wants to learn to address not only the financial bottom line but the economic, social, and ecological issues by developing commercial, mixed-use, and/or residential projects.
