About Us

For over 200 years, Georgetown University has practiced a liberal arts curriculum based on the values of serving the common good. We maintain the same approach in our real estate education. We seek wisdom, social justice, and challenges to help the world.

Who We Are

The Steers Center is where global real estate meets meaningful career opportunities. We harnessed the best of top-ranked Georgetown University faculty and the thriving D.C. real estate market to create a learning hub of academic and experiential excellence.

Through our three specific learning environments – the real estate clinics, public and private real estate investment funds, and our Steers Advisory Services – we offer exceptional access to genuine career experiences like underwriting live deals, investment funding, and learning about the physical aspects of large office buildings.

Top Educational Ranking

Consistently ranked among the world’s best business schools, Georgetown McDonough ranks in the top-five schools in the United States for careers in international business and top-15 for real estate (U.S. News & World Report). The school also rates among the nation’s best for undergraduate programs and Full-time and Flex MBA programs.

How We Did It

The Steers Center provides innovative real estate education and applied thought leadership rooted in the university’s value-based learning for the betterment of its students, society, and the commercial real estate industry.

Students are attracted to the Steers Center for our partnership approach to their education and our commitment to their career success. Many students become lifelong, dedicated alumni wanting to share the high-quality educational experiences they encountered.

Authentic Alumni Relations

From class visits and panel discussions to mentor programs and networking events, our students have direct access to real estate alumni from a variety of concentrations, allowing them to identify relevant companies that align with their career goals.

Value-Based Learning

Rooted in the traditions and values of Georgetown University, we are a forward-looking, diverse community devoted to restless inquiry, social justice, and respect for each person’s needs and talents. We engage our students’ intellect and help them grow ethically by exchanging ideas freely and focusing on building a more just world.
