Major: The Bachelors of Science in Real Estate Development (BRED) major lives within Sol Price School of Public Policy. This major provides students with the knowledge and skills required to navigate a complex and ever-changing career in real estate development. BRED is open to both first-year and transfer applicants.
Overview: The Sol Price School of Public Policy has been a leader in real estate education for more than 30 years, as the first academic institution to offer a graduate degree in real estate. The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Real Estate Development offers one of the most comprehensive real estate educations in the country. Students will gain an in-depth knowledge of real estate development, finance, investment, and an understanding of the broader context of real estate operations. The BRED curriculum allows students to explore the full structure of real estate, its impact on creating communities, and gain firsthand experience with a mandatory 140-hour internship and capstone project. It’s because of this first-hand experience that our students are landing jobs at top companies such as CBRE, Ernst & Young, and Cushman & Wakefield!
Students also have the option to pursue a minor in Real Estate Development. For those looking to pursue an education in real estate beyond the undergraduate level, you can pursue a graduate degree or a dual degree in the following:
