Housing and Real Estate Management

Department of Consumer Studies, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences.

The Housing and Real Estate Management major in the B.Comm. program offers a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of housing, focusing on the delivery of housing services, the management of housing and real estate and on the economic and social policy context.

The major shares a common core with other majors in the B.Comm. program. The focus of the major is on the development of conceptual analytical and management skills required for professional careers in the field of housing and real estate management.

Students in the major study housing and real estate in the context of an assemblage of physical, financial, legal, political and social elements, making linkages between and among elements and then use this knowledge to apply to the management and analysis of housing services systems, and the appraisal of housing policy.

Students graduate with a degree leading to a variety of professional positions in the public and private sectors or to continued graduate work in business, planning or the social sciences.
