Cert in Real Estate

The real estate certificate prepares students for work as brokers, mortgage bankers, appraisers, investors, developers and property managers. Opportunities connected to sustainability and the environment are growing as well. Coursework introduces the markets for property, how deals are financed, how value is determined, and how projects are built and managed. Students gain a practical overview of how the industry functions and where its career paths lead. Offered by the Lubar School of Business, the credential can be paired with a business degree or with a major in another field such as architecture, planning or law. It suits people seeking to enter the property industry or advance within it, and it provides a recognized record of training that can support licensing preparation and conversations with employers.
