A real estate degree from the College of Business will prepare you to make decisions in the real estate and real estate finance industries. Explore the financial aspects of all real estate transactions, from residential to commercial to international, and learn about property management and real estate development.
Graduates are able to understand the functions of real estate markets, practices, and institutions, understand the nature of the legal environment of real estate, appraise the real estate development opportunities in the commercial real estate markets for residential, warehouse, retail, and industrial properties, and solve specific problems or issues related to the analysis of real estate financing alternatives.
The study of real estate can lead to a variety of career paths, including commercial property management and sales, investment management, brokerage, mortgage banking, leasing, appraisal, and site location and procurement, and residential property management.
