Main You have reached the website for the Real Estate Program at the University of Missouri - Columbia. This Program is administered through the Department of Finance in the College of Business. MU offers the only public Real Estate Major in the State. Approximately 35 Real Estate majors graduate each year with a primary emphasis on commercial investing, valuation and appraisal, mortgage banking, leasing, brokerage, and property management.
Most graduates earn dual majors in Finance and Banking.
Business leaders address real estate classes each year on asset and property management, the appraisal process, brokerage problems, leasing techniques, investment banking, real estate development, mortgage banking, syndication, foreclosure and disposition. Thereby, we develop and maintain good ties to the real estate industry. Some 10-15 students accept internships with real estate firms each year with growing demand for more by both students and employers. Placement efforts have been increasingly effective as St. Louis and Kansas City real estate firms and bankers are pleased with our graduates and ask for more.
