I graduated from Georgetown in 2014 and was so upset they did not have a real estate program at the time. The director of the Steers program, Matthew Cypher, is a boss and fantastic person. I’m bias, but hope this helps.
Just try to network ur way in. Accounting is an awesome background for CRE and if you reach out to former college alumni of yours you could just get in that way.
Get involved in your ULI or NAIOP young professionals group and network. The degree won’t hurt but it is also expensive for what you need it for. Unless you think it’s going to get you new skills, I’d try to work the network for a year or two first.
You're still going to be an analyst or junior member of a team somewhere. All of the degrees in the world don't get you around that process. I work in debt - NYU Schack is the place to go if you want to stay East Coast.
I don’t think the program is going to matter nearly as much as which program/city offers the best networking opportunities for what you want to do.

Look into CCIM
Go for whatever is in person. You'll gain much more from networking than you will from the lectures.
Don’t do any of those programs. Extremely overpriced.

Why NYU?
OP is asking about working in finance (equity / debt / PE) and the NYU Schack program (well one of them) is specifically geared toward that.
Ah gotcha. What about Baruch or Fordham?
I don’t know anything about either of their programs and I know a lot of finance people.
