The undergraduate minor in real estate development and the graduate certificate in real estate development allow students to supplement their major areas of study with broad knowledge about making substantially better metropolitan developments. The graduate program also offers a stand-alone certificate for those full-time and part-time students who want to focus only on real estate development.
