<p>What's a good major if you want to get the good experiences of business and real estate? Im looking into real estate law or business law as a occupation.</p>

<p>lol, obviously, but especially for undergraduate bus., there is not many schools w/ real estate majors. what's the next best thing?</p>

5

<p>There are actually a good number--Wisconsin, Texas, MIT, Florida, UCB, NYU and more.</p>

<p>Texas does not have a real estate program anymore</p>

7

<p>Finance seems to be a good major.</p>

8

<p>Texas has a real estate finance program. It's one of the track options on the finance major.</p>

<p>You can take a class or two in real estate in almost any finance program. Also, real estate is a field that can be studied outside of the classroom fairly easily.</p>

<p>There's a lot more to real estate than just being a real estate broker. The thread starter specifically mentioned that he wants to be a lawyer that deals with Real Estate. Other real estate occupations include development, real estate finance</p>

<p>BTW, all states are different, but as a real estate agent, I know it takes a lot more than "a course that lasted a few weeks" to become a real estate broker.</p>

<p>BTW, intellgent brokers will answer many clients' questions by saying "I am not authorized to give legal advice. Please consult an attorney" As an attorney, the threadstarter will need a lot more knowledge than an average broker.</p>

<p>To answer the threadstarters question, I recommend a real estate or finance degree. For the other poster, I'd recommend going to a school that offers real estate. If you decide to attend another school, major in finance, and go ahead and get your real estate license and learn about real estate that way.</p>

<p>Yes, if you just want to sell houses you don't need any degree let alone one in RE. To work in major commercial RE you need at least a good business finance degree but one specializing in RE is better.</p>

<p>Cornell's Hotel school has a specialization in "Finance and Real Estate"</p>

<p>btw, I didn't know there were other teens out there interested in Real Estate. I've taken 4 classes already (Into, Finance, Practices, Law) at my local community college, and plan to get my license the month I turn 18. :)</p>
