Real Estate, Associate of Science (AS)
The Real Estate curriculum is designed to provide the student with the courses necessary to master the basic facets of the real estate industry. The curriculum appeals to all students interested in the real estate business, but it also is designed to prepare students for professional certification as real estate salespersons and brokers. It specifically provides the student with the core course needed to sit for the salesperson license exam i.e. Real Estate Principles. The curriculum also provides students desiring to sit for the broker license exam the five required courses (Real Estate Practice, Real Estate Appraisal, Real Estate Economics, Real Estate Finance and Legal Aspects of Real Estate) and the remaining three elective courses. These courses do not, however, meet salesperson/broker continuing education requirements.
