The
Real Estate and Land Development Program at VCU’s
School of Business has developed a national reputation
for the high quality of its educational offerings, faculty,
programs, and service to the real estate profession.
The program offers an undergraduate major, a post-baccalaureate
certificate, a graduate certificate, and two concentrations
at the graduate level.
“While
many other colleges and universities offer a few real
estate classes, we have developed a complete and in-depth
real estate program,” says Robert Taylor, director
of VCU’s Real Estate Center. “Our program
is gaining a national reputation for excellence, and
our graduates are reaping the rewards in the job market.”
Lee
Warfield, Executive Vice President of Thalhimer Commercial
Real Estate, says his company has used VCU interns and
likes to hire graduates whenever possible. "When
I see VCU on someone's resume, it gives me a certain
comfort level because I know they come with a strong
foundation in real estate. Having a degree from such
a well-regarded program definitely adds to their credentials."
The
program’s success can be credited to a combination
of excellent teachers and scholars, support from the
real estate community, and a versatile and well-rounded
curriculum, says Taylor. “The focus is on preparing
students for any part of the industry they choose. Our
program gives students skills in every aspect of the
business, from home sales to residential and commercial
development, commercial sales and leasing, property
management, corporate real estate, residential and commercial
financing, and appraisal, to name a few."
