This year, a flood of entrepreneurial female students hit USC's Lusk Center for Real Estate.
A recent class profile shows that more than 30 percent of this year's Masters of Real Estate Development (MRED) class is composed of women.
This is an improvement from the previous four years, when the percentage of women in the class averaged 17 percent.
Sonia Savoulian, the Lusk Center's director of Alumni and Student Services, attributes this increase in interest in real estate to the flexibility of the profession.
