Stevenson University

What you'll study

Coursework covers core business foundations such as finance, marketing and economics, then applies those concepts to real estate topics including property valuation, investment analysis, real estate law and development. Students learn quantitative techniques for analyzing cash flows and risk, how to research local markets and zoning, and practical aspects of brokerage, property management and development feasibility. The curriculum typically culminates in experiential projects or internships that connect students with local developers, brokers and asset managers.

Entry requirements

Applicants need a high school diploma or equivalent and should demonstrate competence in mathematics and written communication. Admissions normally review transcripts, a personal statement and recommendations; some programmes advise or prefer prior coursework in business, economics or algebra. Transfer applicants must provide college transcripts and course descriptions for evaluation.

Career prospects

Graduates move into roles such as real estate sales and leasing, property or asset management, development coordination, appraisal and valuation, or analyst positions in investment and asset management firms. The programme also provides a pathway into related fields—commercial lending, urban planning, and real estate law—especially when combined with internships and professional licensure efforts.

Scholarships & funding angle

Students should explore institutional merit scholarships, department awards, and need-based financial aid offered by the university, as well as external scholarships from real estate industry associations and local brokerages. Internships and co-op placements can provide paid work experience; employers in the sector sometimes offer tuition assistance for qualifying employees pursuing further credentials or degrees.
