by Brianna Crandall — November 19, 2010—CoreNet Global, the global association for corporate real estate and related professionals, recently announced the launch of a new Accelerated Master of Corporate Real Estate (MCR) program that will provide corporate real estate (CRE) executives in Asia with the opportunity to attain the designation in just 18 months of part-time study.
The Accelerated MCR program is structured to serve busy CRE professionals in the region by providing them with the means to become fully accredited within a consolidated timeframe. It only accepts CRE executives who are already employed in the industry.
To attain the designation, candidates must complete three required MCR seminars, two elective seminars, and a three-day final session comprising case studies that illustrate all learned elements—all within 18 months. On completion of the course, candidates also have the option to apply for a Senior Leader of Corporate Real Estate (SLCR) certification program.
Looking ahead, CoreNet Global plans to begin delivering the present English-language MCR syllabus in local dialects that may include Japanese and Putonghua. Since it was first launched in 1982, over 1580 CRE professionals have earned CoreNet Global’s MCR designation. Today, there are more than 927 active MCRs globally, including 60 students who are based in the Asia-Pacific region.
