Beginning in the fall of 2013 Virginia Tech will offer a Bachelor of
Science Degree program in real estate, becoming the nation’s first
interdisciplinary undergraduate program to include academic strengths in
architecture, building construction, business, applied economics,
engineering, property management, and natural resources management.
The Virginia Tech Board of Visitors unanimously approved a resolution to
create this new degree program during its quarterly meeting today.
The new program, pending approval from the State Council of Higher
Education for Virginia, will prepare students with the decision making,
risk-evaluation, ethical-behavior, negotiation, communication,
team-work, analytical and leadership skills to become leaders in the
complex real estate industry that faces diminished public confidence
following the recent market collapse and the challenge of building
sustainable living and work space for a growing population.
