Master Degree in the Real Estate field?

[Solomon Morris]

All,

I am currently still active-duty Army with approximately 6 years left till I'm eligible to retire.  I just finished my undergrad and considering a master's in real estate while still utilizing tuition assistance to cover much (or close to all depending on the school) of the associated costs. Some of the specific offerings I've seen are: Master's in real estate, Master's of Real Estate Development, MS in International Real Estate, MS in Real Estate Management, MJ in Real Estate Law and MBA in Real Estate.

I understand higher institutional learning is unnecessary to make it in RE.  I've purchased the properties I do have with a high school diploma and money saved during deployments. I am curious if anyone has any positive feedback that RE focused higher learning has provided with their career or investing. Any feedback on the offerings listed above?  

I see myself pivoting away from my military discipline to be active in RE via sales, development, management, acquisitions etc.  Anything not involving jumping out of a plane with a ruck between my legs! I clawed and scratched my way through my undergrad and ultimately, I'm curious if it'll even be worth the time to push it any further.  

Thank you for your time

Respectfully,

Solomon

First off, thanks for your service. Anecdotally, I have heard Georgetown has a good program and that would fit with your geography. But I would have to agree with @Taylor L. that you should be looking at it strictly from a networking perspective. If you are going to be involved in all the out of class events, etc. it could be a good idea to get your foot in the door for job opportunities. If you are just going to get a degree, you would be better served continuing to get the hands-on experience you're already working on.
