The Real Estate and Housing major in the B.Comm. program is one of only two undergraduate programs in Canada that specialize in the real estate sector. It takes a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of residential and commercial/investment real estate.
The purpose of this major is to develop the conceptual, analytical and management skills required for careers in real estate and housing. Students graduate with a degree that can lead to a variety of professional positions in the private or public sectors of the Canadian real estate industry or they can continue on to graduate work in business, planning or the social sciences.
A principal aim of the Co-op program in Real Estate and Housing is to facilitate the transition of students from academic studies to a professional career by enhancing the integration of theory and practice.
The Co-op program in Real Estate and Housing is a five year program, including 5 work terms. Although the schedule includes 5 work terms, students have the option to complete only 4 of the 5 work terms, but must graduate with a Fall, Winter and Summer work term. Please refer to the Co-operative Education programs policy with respect to adjusting the schedule listed below.
In order for students to be eligible to continue in the Co-op program, they must meet a minimum 70% cumulative average requirement after second semester, as well as meet all work term requirements. Please refer to the Co-operative Education programs policy with respect to work term performance grading and work term report grading.
Students interested in obtaining their Accredited Appraiser Canadian Institute (AACI) designation should consider taking the additional 4 required courses through the University of British Columbia distance education by letter of permission to count as electives in your degree. See your departmental Faculty Advisor for more details.
For additional program information students should consult with their Co-op Co-ordinator and Co-op Faculty Advisor, listed on the Co-operative Education & Career Services web site.
