Finance and Real Estate (FREL)

Real estate is the largest asset class in the world, encompassing land, housing, commercial buildings (hotels, office buildings, shopping centers), industrial buildings (warehouses and factories), healthcare facilities (hospitals and nursing homes), and government buildings (offices, schools, military, etc.). There are a variety of opportunities in real estate for finance professionals, including valuing real estate, analyzing the financial aspects of real estate projects and investments, financing real estate projects and investments, and selling and leasing real estate.

The Finance and Real Estate major (FREL) is for students who want to pursue a career in real estate finance and development. It satisfies the requirements for a double major in finance and real estate without the necessity of taking any additional courses.
