REMBA: W.P. Carey adds real estate MBA program "While real estate wields a powerful influence on the economy in good times and bad, there hasn't been much of an emphasis on it academically... ASU launched an MBA with a specialization in real estate and a doctorate in business administration/real estate finance in January this year. But ASU's intent is not just to offer the program. Their goal is to evolve rapidly into one of the top five real estate programs in the country."

Real estate professor adding pieces to build ASU program "On most days, Crocker Liu blends into the university scene.
The youthful-looking real estate finance professor typically dons colorful Hawaiian shirts or T-shirts and jeans.
But behind the casual dress is a serious and ambitious 54-year-old man whose goal is to create a top-of-mind real estate program for the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University. The school will graduate its first MBA students with a real estate concentration in 2008."

ASU takes steps in developing top-notch real estate program "Arizona State University's W.P. Carey School of Business landed another nationally recognized scholar when Anthony Sanders, a professor of finance at Ohio State University, signed a contract to join ASU's ramped-up MBA program in real estate."

Business School Banks on Real Estate Expertise "Arizona State University is betting on real estate to further build a reputation as a top business education destination.
The W. P. Carey School of Business last year attracted Crocker Liu from New York University to lead a new real estate program...
Liu recently spent some time with bizAZ magazine talking about the program."
