Real Estate Development Minor

The development and management of real estate is a vital component of the urban economy. The Real Estate Development minor (RE) will provide education to students wanting to enter the industry. Minors develop skills to evaluate real estate development proposals and understand how real estate development fits into regional planning and economic processes.  To reach the RE minor coordinator, contact REminor@pdx.edu.
