BA/BS in Real Estate

The Real Estate major examines how property is created, financed, sold and used, drawing on a mix of disciplines. Students meet ideas from land economics, general economics, consumer behavior, appraisal, risk theory and the analysis of investments. On that foundation, the program teaches a structured way to analyze investments and value property, taking into account taxes, risk, how deals are financed, government limits and market conditions. This approach lets students evaluate real property choices as a developer, a lender or a buyer would, and software is applied to genuine cases. Early study includes general education, Exploring the Human Experience and prerequisite classes. Entry to the major uses specialized admission. Classes meet in person on the Tallahassee main campus only, and no online or distance option exists for the degree.
