Real Estate Studies

Real estate scholars ask questions such as: What is the highest and best use for a given land development site? What are the financing methods available to make a project successful? How do you mitigate multiple stakeholder concerns to move a project forward?

Real estate scholars explore best practices in leadership, entrepreneurship, sustainability and stakeholder relations in the context of the land development and real estate industry. You’ll gain foundational business knowledge related to real estate and develop an applied understanding of the field of real estate by learning from industry experts. You'll complete projects, formal presentations, group projects and various case studies during your degree.
