Graduate Certificate in Real Estate and Urban
Land Development
The Graduate Certificate in Real Estate and Urban
Land Development is designed for seasoned professionals who seek
an opportunity for advanced study in real estate and are more interested
in the focused knowledge obtainable than receipt of a graduate degree.
The certificate provides students the ability to advance their careers
while receiving recognition of their academic accomplishment in
the form of a graduate certificate. Many working professionals,
especially those with undergraduate majors in Liberal Arts, will
find this program attractive since they can concentrate their energies
on a tightly focused curriculum without enrolling in a large number
of prerequisite courses.
Applicants must have an earned baccalaureate degree or its equivalent
from an accredited college or university. Other admission requirements
include (1) proficiency in using spread sheet computer software
demonstrated either by examination or an appropriate course, (2)
completion of FIRE 431 Advanced Real Estate Appraisal or its equivalent,
and (3) minimum of 2.7 grade point average at the undergraduate
level. A minimum of five years of business experience is preferred.
Curriculum
In order to be eligible for graduation with the certificate, a
student must maintain an overall grade point average of 3.0. Eighteen
credit hours beyond a bachelor's degree is required for completion
of this graduate certificate program. A maximum of one three-hour
course taken at another AACSB- the International Education Association
for Management Education institution may be transferred into this
program. Students interested in later applying for admission into
either the Master of Business Administration with concentration
in Real Estate and Urban Land Development or the Master of Science
in Business with concentration in Real Estate Valuation must do
so through a separate application process. Admission to a master's
program is dependent on the applicant having achieved a 3.0 grade
point average in the graduate certificate and achieved a satisfactory
score on the GMAT examination.
