List of Universities That Offer a Degree in Real Estate

There are nearly 150 universities that offer a real estate degree in the United States. We’ve listed them all here to help you find the best fit and launch your career.

One of the great things about the real estate industry is the flexibility and the low barrier to entry. Unlike many other industries, you are not strictly required to have a university or college degree to succeed. In fact, some of the country’s top agents have simply a high school diploma and their certification of licensure.

Still, it can be advantageous to have a degree in real estate. This is especially the case if you want to manage your own real estate group or get into real estate finance.

To help those interested in a degree, we’ve provided a list of every college real estate program in the U.S.
