Courses
The Certificate in Real Estate is comprised of nine required courses and seven elective courses providing a comprehensive understanding of the industry and a basis for strong career growth in real estate. Students can concentrate in specific industry areas such as finance and investment, sales and brokerage, development and management, appraisal or housing and nonprofit development. Total certificate program tuition is $5,150 and a $50 application fee.
Most of the 22.5-hour courses (required) and 11.25-hour courses (electives) are New York State certified as continuing education units in real estate. The 78-hour New York State Salesperson’s Pre-Licensure Course is included as a required course for those who are not already licensed.
Those wishing to take individual courses may do so without entering the certificate program. Costs are $295 for the 78-hour Salesperson’s Pre-Licensure course, $465 for the Brokers course, $495-$595 for the 30- to 40-hour Appraisal courses, $295 for all 15-hour Appraisal courses, $395 for the ARGUS course, $465 for all 22.5-hour continuing education courses and $275 for all 11.25-hour continuing education courses.
Those enrolled in the certificate program may choose among a variety of concentrations, including real estate finance and investment, residential real estate, housing and nonprofit redevelopment or sales and brokerage. Joint programs in real estate appraisal and real estate and urban planning are also available, and a program in construction management for real estate professionals is now under development.
