Real estate education is the study of the built environment. You can’t walk outside without seeing real estate. And it encompasses everything: from economics to finance, architecture, marketing, management, government and law....real estate education is a good fit for both left and right brain thinkers. There is the quantitative side, with jobs for analysts and researchers. And for more outgoing people there are jobs in leasing, sales and marketing.
