Graduates of real estate programs can be “highly sought after” especially in fast-growing housing markets such as Colorado, New York, Illinois, Florida and West Virginia, the website says.

rosscheck real estate careers and college degrees and you’re liable to find lots of matches. However, the list may be substantially smaller when searching for Realtors and commercial brokers who majored in disciplines directly related to buying and selling homes or negotiating office or retail deals.

Unlike studying to be a lawyer or doctor, people interested in real estate aren’t obligated to attend graduate school or major in real estate although taking courses or even concentrating in the field can be helpful. Many agents got their starts showing homes as a sideline or became involved after earlier career choices weren’t right for them, while commercial brokers may

their own households over the next decade.”

In deciding on a college, students should look for a real estate program that fits their needs. For instance, some schools offer specializations that would appeal to students “with specific career interests, such as commercial real estate or real estate finance,” says BestColleges.com, another education-related Internet site.

Cost often is a factor. “Instate tuition prices are typically lower than out-of-state tuition prices. Students wishing to earn their degree locally find that completing the first two years of their education at a nearby community college saves money,” BestColleges.com says.

In findings this year, U.S. News and World Report released rankings of the top dozen real estate schools in the country. In order they are the University of Pennsylvania; California - Berkeley;

September 7, 2018

the University of Wisconsin; New York University; the University of Georgia; University of Texas; Southern Cal (USC); University of Florida; Marquette; Cornell; Florida State; and the University of North Carolina.

BestColleges.com, meanwhile, analyzes online real estate programs.

“Commonly promoted as convenient, flexible, and accessible, online programs allow students to earn their degree from home while saving money by eliminating commuting costs,” the website notes. “Online programs frequently offer distance learning discounts, such as flat tuition rates for out-of-state students,” it says.

The website lists its top five online real estate programs in order: the University of Memphis, West Georgia University, NYU, East Tennessee State University and Clarion University of Pennsylvania.

Memphis, for instance, offers a

fully online real estate degree that “prepares students to launch careers in real estate investment, valuation, property development (and) mortgage banking,” the website says.

In some cases, real estate programs in frothy local markets single out their home towns as job starting points. The Carter Real Estate Center at the College of Charleston on its online site champions the area housing economy and how it’s a prescient time to think about real estate as a career.

“Charleston’s real estate market is steadily on the rise, so the timing is perfect to explore a minor or concentration in real estate,” the center points out. “From manufacturing and warehouse expansion, corporate real estate and Class A office, retail renovation and development (to) condominium construction, the real estate industry has so much to offer.”
