Real Estate Badge Added to the Wisconsin Professional MBA Program 42 Professional MBA students at the Wisconsin School of Business added the new Real Estate Badge to their areas of expertise. The part-time, hybrid program offers working professionals the flexibility of online classes and in-person collaboration. Courses for the badge are developed and taught by faculty from the WSB’s renowned Real Estate Program. The Wisconsin Idea at Work: Real Estate Education for High School Scholars Tim Carr, Deputy Chair, taught “Real Estate 101” to a group of talented high school students from University of WisconsinMadison's PEOPLE Program (Precollege Enrichment Opportunity Program for Learning Excellence). Tim used real-world examples and case studies to share a fun day of learning about the many facets of real estate. This unique outreach initiative is a shining example of the Wisconsin Idea in action and we are grateful to the PEOPLE Program for this opportunity for students to expand their horizons to learn more about real estate and the urban environment. Thank you to Tim for sharing his expertise and knowledge with the PEOPLE students.
