Real Estate Developer in progress... need a professional opinion

[Markel Vega]

I've been given the opportunity to go back to college to get a Masters Degree in Real Estate Development due to a fellowship that I was part of during my undergrad, but i'm hesitant because the whole field is brand new to me. I've been out of college for about 3 years now and really like the idea of going back to get a masters degree in the field due to its demand, but wanted professional opinions as well as advice on how a person that is brand new to the field should get started as well as what I should expect.
