Real Estate Development Minor

Real estate is a dynamic multifaceted industry that is a significant part of the local, national, and global economies.  The Real Estate Development Minor provides students with 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 required course, 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.  In addition to their coursework, students in this minor can take advantage of programs offered by GMU’s Center for Real Estate Entrepreneurship including valuable networking opportunities with leaders in the regional real estate industry.
