The professional master’s program in real estate prepares students interested in commercial and residential brokerage and appraisal, development and mortgage brokerage. The curriculum combines a unique business core consisting of finance, accounting and marketing courses with advanced coursework in real estate. Students will earn 30 credit hours during five sessions and will be well-prepared to obtain Florida real estate brokerage and appraisal licenses.
The program is tailored to busy working professionals. Classes will be held on Monday and Wednesday evenings at the EDC. Students will go through the 16-month program as a cohort, taking all courses together.
“The cohort program is beneficial because students not only learn from their professor, they share their experiences with other students as well,” says Thomas L. Keon, dean of the UCF College of Business Administration. “The Central Florida region is a prime spot for commercial and residential real estate development. Graduates from this program will be well-positioned to fill a niche area in this market,” he adds.
An information session on the new program will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 23 at the EDC, 36 W. Pine St., Orlando. Randy Anderson, the Howard Phillips Eminent Scholar Chair in the Dr. P. Phillips School of Real Estate, will be present to answer questions.
