The Real Estate Development Minor provides a range of courses that delve into core aspects of the real estate industry including finance, urban planning, negotiations and selling, and construction. In addition to the two required courses, students can select from multiple elective courses offered by several schools. The electives are divided into three primary tracks, which are: Real Estate Development, Entrepreneurship, and Urban Planning.
Policies
At least eight credits must be unique to the minor and not applied toward any other major, minor, or concentration. Students must achieve a grade of C or better in each course that is applied toward the minor.
For policies governing all minors, see AP.5.3.4 Minors. The School of Business residency requirement for this minor supersedes the university requirement: at least nine credits must be earned at Mason.
