Tulane University Announces Launch of Joint MBA/MSRED Degree Program


Serving as the manager of RLB Squared, Geoff Block oversees real estate acquisitions and developments, including the new headquarters of Jaguar Land Rover North America. Geoff Block attended Tulane University in New Orleans, where he studied business at the Freeman School of Business.

Established in 1914, the Freeman School of Business at Tulane University offers undergraduate and graduate programs in business administration, finance, management, business analytics, and accounting. In February 2019, the Freeman School announced a strategic partnership with the Tulane School of Architecture to offer a joint MBA/Sustainable Real Estate Development (MBA/MSRED) degree program, the first of its kind in New Orleans.

The MBA/MSRED degree program provides students with information and concepts in analytics, development, consulting, and management - all areas essential in the preparation for the evolving practices of the real estate industry. The MBA/MSRED includes a combined total of 89 course credits delivered in two years or five semesters. In addition to classroom learning, students are also required to complete case studies and perform directed research on a chosen topic in sustainable real estate development.
