Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Real Estate Development] From Florida State University

The primary objective of the program at Florida State University is to provide students with the analytical and critical thinking skills necessary to enter the real estate industry. More specifically, the program aims to equip students for entry-level positions in mortgage banking and institutional lending, real estate brokerage and leasing, appraisal and investment consulting, real estate investment and development activities, corporate real estate and real estate positions within government agencies.

The Real Estate Society (student organization) and the FSU Real Estate Network (alumni and friends) serve to give students exposure to the various aspects of the real estate industry through their corporate tours and professional forums, as well as an opportunity to interact with real estate professionals. The program seeks to facilitate internships, both at the department-level and college-level, which provide students the chance to gain practical experience. The “fast-tracking” of many training programs available through our department provide students with a competitive advantage over other new hires.

Established in the early 1970s in response to the rapidly growing employment opportunities in real estate, today the Real Estate Development Program at Florida State is one of the largest and most successful programs in the nation.
