73% of CARW members attended secondary education at institutions within the State of Wisconsin. Of the nearly 700 members who we have collected information for, 20% attended UW-Milwaukee; 18% attended UW-Madison; 9% attended Marquette University and 6% attended UW-Whitewater. CARW currently works with these four colleges to provide scholarships and career opportunities to keep talent by Wisconsin in Wisconsin.
Marquette University
Marquette's program keeps the emphasis on real estate where it belongs: on practical applications, not just theory. Real estate majors will learn how to apply principles of market analysis, financing, and development with respect to commercial real estate — literally building from the ground up in some cases. And because you'll graduate as an applied decision-maker, not just a number cruncher, you'll already have the skills employers demand. Marquette currently offers a major in Real Estate.

University of Wisconsin - Madison
At the University of Wisconsin - Madison, the primary goal of the undergraduate real estate major is to comprehensively underwrite commercial real estate, which is broad-based and follows the education thought leadership of James A. Graaskamp, who expressed that “Real estate should be taught as a process of dynamic interactions rather than functional and historical facts.” Underwriting commercial real estate includes the analysis of all property types and the development of residential communities while assessing and managing risk in all aspects of real estate relative to finance, development, valuation, and market analysis. To effectively underwrite commercial real estate, students must be able to identify and synthesize technical or basic skills, conceptual knowledge, and critical thinking skills, and understand the real estate landscape to make informed and thoughtful property decisions. Graduates of the real estate major secure employment in a wide range of positions and responsibilities including real estate private equity investment, commercial real lending and valuation, and real estate development among many other areas including asset/property management and investment sales and brokerage.
