本人本科专业construction engineering,在国内知名建筑施工企业和房地产开发企业工作十年,现在在美国读MBA。目前正在考虑回工业界工作呢还是转到学术界继续申请读一个房地产Ph.D?



由于这个专业的博士点较少,版上讨论不多,希望对这个方向感兴趣的朋友一起来讨论一下房地产Ph.D的申请,就业以及发展前景。



下面是我寻找到的一些房地产Ph.D program的信息,一起分享。

不是打击楼主,房地产PhD基本都在商学院下,对应需要的本科学位基本有:数学,金融数学,计量金融学,统计学等,而且一般都有数学或金融相关的硕士学位,和工程基本无关。

作为在开发行业工作了若干年,又有MBA学位的朋友,申请PhD并无优势。

我倒是发现一些背景是土木结构建筑,后来拿到房地产Ph.D, 现在做得很好的教授。

如果楼主想申请,我觉得从acadimic background方面来讲没有任何问题,不是非要学数理出身,很多有名的教授在读PHD之前有MBA学位,而且也不是学纯数理的,不能一概而论,况且楼主本身就是工科背景,MBA也学了很好的商业基础课,所以不会有问题。
PHD是对数理知识有所要求,但也要看专业方向的,一般情况下计量经济学要学好,因为是个基本的研究工具,纯数学类的知识要求并不高,我有几个在美国读PHD的同学说并不像想的那么难。当然如果你的研究方向就是例如衍生品之类的我想数学肯定就高了,美国博士同一主业的方向都分的很细,关键看以后的研究领域在哪
楼主可以看看各个博士的课程要求,写的都挺明确的,到底要学哪些课程,及相应科目的难度
另外申PHD除了基本的条件外,和申MBA最大的不同就是教授的推荐信比较重要,以及和对方教授如果能建立直接联系就更好

谢谢lvguoliang111 的回复。我详细看了University of Georgia 的房地产phd要求。
Ph.D in Real Estate

Plan of Study


The Ph.D is a research degree and therefore the emphasis in this program is to develop research tools.

The following calculus courses are required of Ph.D students:

Math 2200 Analytic Geometry and Calculus (3 hours)

Math 2210 Integral Calculus (3 hours)


A. The major required courses in real estate are as follows: A grade of B or better is required in each of the four

Real Estate major courses (REAL 7800, REAL 7810, REAL 7830, REAL 7880) for permission to take the

written Ph.D field exam.

1. REAL 7800 Real Estate Analysis (1½ hours)

2. REAL 7810 Real Estate Investment (1½ hours)

3. REAL 7830 Real Estate Finance (1½ hours)

4. REAL 7880 Real Estate Development (1½ hours)

1. FINA 9110 Valuation and Capital Market Theory (3 hours)

2. FINA 9120 Empirical Research in Corporate Finance (3 hours)

3. FINA 9130 Financial Research Methodology (3 hours)

Ph.D exam. Econometric Theory I & II and ECON 8130 are required for the completion of the Ph.D.

Exceptions are allowed with permission of the graduate coordinator and major professor.**

the graduate coordinator and major professor. All 8990 courses are used for Research Apprenticeship only. It is not allowed
to use any 8990 in any area or subject as an elective in the major field or minor field or as research methodology.

** If the graduate coordinator and major professor is the same person or if the student has no major professor then permission

must be obtained from the graduate coordinator and one other faculty member in Real Estate on the graduate faculty.

*** The required course outline dated August 7, 1998, September 1, 1998, and August 12, 2005 are not valid.

我学过的数学课有《高等数学》上下册共两年,《线性代数》,《概率论和数理统计》,我不知道对于学房地产phd来讲数学课够不够?
我比较担心的是经济学基础。本科虽然选修过《宏观经济学》《微观经济学》,但那时学的很粗糙。我也没有学过《计量经济学》。确实经济学知识是一个问题。
另外,我MBA倒是修了一些金融学的课程,如《公司金融》《投资管理》等。这一块我也不知道房地产phd够不够用。
说实话,我也有些犹豫。

Ping Cheng 我有过一次对话经历。他现在做的方面是很数理统计的。
楼主希望往这个方向发展?
我仍然觉得你的确可以申请PHD,但是想要拿顶级PHD OFFER没有优势。

PhD一定要申请好学校。Georgia State和Cincinati建议不要申请。University of Georgia一级是保底级别。

另外,我和几个房地产PHD和研究教授聊天过。
现在竞争越来越激烈,数学要求越来越高。
以前的确有MBA和工程建筑的人来读房地产PHD。
现在基本很难了。
如果楼主一定要坚持,那祝好运。
如果需要我介绍一些朋友,请和我发邮件:
