The B.S. in Real Estate program encompasses courses taught by business faculty and industry professionals in areas such as brokerage, lending, appraisal, development, and property management.

The program is organized around five aspects of real estate:

They may also choose to enter one of the areas of business, industry, or government for which their emphasis on real estate concepts, theories, and practices has prepared them.
