“In our new real estate and development major, students receive pre-professional training in social sciences and in issues relating to real estate: affordable housing, transportation, conservation, taxation, and finance.” —Dean Carol Padden, Division of Social Sciences
DYNAMIC NEW SPACE In fall 2020, the USP Program moves to its new home in the North Torrey Pines Living and Learning Neighborhood. This sustainable, mixed-use community of housing, classrooms, offices, and retail shops features state-of-the-art technology for RED students and faculty. The setting will also host alumni and community partners. Central to our new space is a design studio and adjoining geographic information system (GIS) and visualization lab. This dynamic neighborhood, including restaurants open late into the evening, will be a hub of constant activity.
