Many students think real estate is just about selling homes, but it’s so much more. At CSU, once you take REL 360, join the Real Estate Club, and engage with the Everitt Real Estate Center, you’ll discover a dynamic industry that spans commercial development, hospitality, finance, construction, and beyond. Real estate is everywhere—from the buildings we live in to the resorts we vacation at, and CSU gives you the tools to explore it all.
Our real estate concentration prepares you for a meaningful career, not just a license. It fulfills the education requirements to sit for the real estate licensing exam upon graduation, as well as the Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO) and appraisal exams. You’ll learn from faculty who are active professionals in the field, including a real estate attorney and a certified appraiser, bringing a wealth of real-world experience and deep connections to Colorado’s industry landscape. Their insights and networks help bridge the gap between classroom learning and career opportunities.
Supported by the Everitt Real Estate Center, a trusted link between students and the industry for over 25 years, CSU’s program opens doors to careers that go far beyond residential sales. Whether you’re interested in building communities, financing major developments, or managing luxury properties, you’ll graduate with the confidence, credentials, and connections to make an impact in one of the most influential industries in the world.
