Real Estate Minor
The Real Estate minor at ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ provides students a strong foundation in the multi-disciplinary field of real estate focused on property development, design, construction, business, sustainability, law, and finance. Coursework focuses on local examples of key national and global issues, such as coastal resiliency, historic and cultural preservation, affordable housing, community health and engagement, and regional growth.
The Minor in Real Estate is open to all undergraduate students. The program is designed to help students understand the essential knowledge and skills in the real estate industry and, if desired, pursue advanced studies in real estate.
The minor compliments many existing majors, such as architecture, business, preservation, construction management, environmental studies, and several liberal arts majors. Students are also encouraged to consider a 4+1 degree track with the Masters of Real Estate program.
