Introduction
The Real Estate major in the Business School is created for
students who want to apply the theoretical and analytical
concepts of finance to real estate lending, investment and
development.
Educational Objectives
The importance of understanding developments in real estate
and mortgage markets and the integration of real estate investments
into the national and international economy have led to increased
interest in this important field. The real estate major strengthens
ties with important segments of the business community and
builds on the University’s strategic strengths in architecture
(New Urbanism) and urban planning.
