The real estate major is designed to provide an educational foundation for students interested in pursuing careers in real estate. Career areas include real estate investment and financial analysis, real estate finance and mortgage lending, corporate real estate asset analysis, and commercial and residential real estate brokerage. Core competencies to be developed include the ability to analyze: real estate investment opportunities from both investor and corporate perspectives; financial and lending alternatives; and the effect of financing and taxation on real estate asset cash flows, net present values, and internal rates of return.
