About Us | Lied Institute for Real Estate Studies



The extraordinary population growth in the Las Vegas valley presents an ongoing challenge to the real estate development industry, local governments, environmentalists and educators. The Institute for Real Estate Studies was formed by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas College of Business in 1989 to help meet the educational and research demands generated by this unprecedented growth. The Institute was endowed in 1991 through a generous gift and challenge grant from the Ernest F. Lied Foundation Trust.

Local industry leaders have supported this innovative blend of education, research and community outreach from its inception. They solidly endorse a program devoted to area real estate studies.

Today, the Lied Institute for Real Estate Studies, as an element of the College of Business at UNLV, offers a comprehensive four-year Bachelor of Science degree in Real Estate Finance. The institute also supports professional research, scholarship, mentoring, internships, executive and continuing education, the Certified Graduate Builder Series, the Commercial Real Estate Certification Program, the Real Estate Roundtable and other extension activities. Through these and related projects, the Institute continues to respond to the growing needs of the Southern Nevada real estate industry while supporting a premier educational program.
