<p>I would love for my son to take some real estate courses. We have some family members who evaluate properties for wealthy investors are being approached by REITs.</p>
<p>Any recommendations as to favorites? </p>
<p>I dont think you can major in RE from what I have researched on the UM site but not sure. </p>
<p>He may be interested in Finance major with RealE minor? Any thoughts?</p>
<p>I have never heard of a real estate program at UMich. A quick google search shows only a graduate certificate in Art and Architecture. There appear to be a few classes at WCC just a few miles away: [WCC</a> Curriculum & Assessment: Course and Program Data: Master Syllabi: Real Estate (RES)](<a href=“Washtenaw Community College | College in Ann Arbor, MI”>Washtenaw Community College | College in Ann Arbor, MI)</p>
<p>There’s actually a couple 1.5 credit finance courses in Ross focused on Real Estate. But you can’t get either a Finance major or a RE minor. Ross just gets you a business administration major and you’re allowed to put an “emphasis” on your resume as just an area or two you took a lot of classes in, but it’s nothing official.</p>
<p>Have you heard any feedback on the RE class/es are they worth taking?
AND
Can you take them if you are not accepted by Ross?</p>
<p>Haven’t heard any specific feedback on those courses specifically but I’ve never heard a bad thing about a Ross elective course. And no you’d have to be in Ross to take any finance classes that specific.</p>
<p>LHC 482 is the Ross Elective course on real estate. It is not offered in Fall 2013. I think it is still taught by George Siedel who has been around forever and was one of my favorite professors at U-M. I did not take this class but I would recommend it. I doubt you would have to be in Ross to take the class.</p>
<p>Business law is also a good class for someone interested in real estate. Also any class involving negotiation.</p>
<p>FIN 320 and FIN 321 are real estate courses. They’re both 1.5 credit half-semester classes.</p>
<p>The LHC class is real estate law, the FIN classes are real estate finance.</p>
