Baruch College’s interdisciplinary major and BBA minor in real estate are unique within The City University of New York. In these programs, students are introduced to the commercial real estate industry and prepared for related entry-level positions with developers, property managers, lenders, appraisers, brokers, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies. The courses offer real-world knowledge and analytic depth, concentrating on the metropolitan New York market. They include case studies and immersion in industry information sources and build quantitative, writing, and speaking skills. Students learn from faculty who are practiced real estate and development professionals as well as from guest lecturers.

The BS in real estate and metropolitan development is the
first degree program of its kind in New York City. The School
of Public Affairs and Zicklin School of Business each offer
roughly half of the required upper-level courses. The 120-
credit degree offers students a well-rounded education and
marketable skills, including a thorough grounding in commercial
real estate.
On declaring their real estate major, juniors take courses in real estate sub-areas, including law, valuation, finance, property management, public regulation of land use, and housing and community development. Because the bulk of undergraduate real estate courses are taken as part of the final 60 credits toward the degree, interested students taking arts and sciences or business courses are well positioned to transfer into this BS major. For additional information, please see the section on the BS degree in Part 5 of this bulletin.

The BBA minor in real estate, offered by the Zicklin School
of Business, with courses in Zicklin and the School of Public
Affairs, is a rigorous, concentrated introduction to real estate,
with particular emphasis on financial, market, and legal
analysis. The 12-credit minor may be an especially attractive
fit for finance majors and management majors specializing in
entrepreneurship.
Students pursuing a real estate minor take a selection of courses in the sub disciplines of law, valuation, finance, property management, public regulation of land use, and housing and community development. Because the bulk of undergraduate real estate courses are taken as part of the final 60 credits toward the degree, interested students taking arts and sciences or business courses are well positioned to pursue the BBA minor.
