Real Estate
The vision of the real estate program at SDSU is to create a ready-day-one educational program for students who aspire to become future leaders and professionals within the multifaceted real estate industry.
This vision and the changing nature of today's real estate market require that graduates receive a complete education that provides both breadth and depth in this field. Majors in real estate receive a solid foundation in business and real estate through a core business curriculum combined with courses in real estate finance, law, development, investment and valuation. Graduates will also be prepared to continue learning, provide leadership, and contribute to communities and a variety of organizations, large and small, public and private as a result of their total degree program experience.
SDSU's program in real estate provides students with analytical skills and technical competence to perform market and project analyses, and an understanding of the tools necessary to perform in today's complex real estate industry. This means graduates should be prepared to make an impact/contribution to any real estate organization from their first day of employment. Graduates that select applicable courses should have most of the requirements underway to attain a real estate broker's license. SDSU's real estate program recognizes the ever-changing real estate environment and prepares majors for diverse opportunities in development, finance, brokerage, property and asset management, appraisal, mortgage banking and corporate real estate, even in times of economic uncertainty.
