Program Description For more than 20 years, our Real Estate and Housing major has helped produce some of Canada’s most successful leaders in residential and commercial real estate. As a student in this major, you will develop the analytical, conceptual and managerial skills needed to succeed in this high growth industry. The hands-on nature of the specialized courses will have you explore real estate topics such as property appraisal, property management, financing, market analysis, urban economics, planning and development. Furthermore, each fall, a team of six students is chosen to participate in the Cornell International Real Estate Case Competition in New York City. These students have the opportunity to meet students from other top real estate programs in the world.
You will have plenty of opportunities to compete in case competitions, apply your knowledge in your co-op placement and network with industry professionals. Graduates of this major can also be exempt from many of the courses needed to complete the Accredited Appraiser Canadian Institute (AACI) designation, the Certified Property Manager (CPM) designation, as well as some other Ontario real estate licensing courses.
