Real Estate Minor
Department website: https://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/undergraduate-programs/bba-business-minors/
The Real Estate Minor offers degree-seeking undergraduate students from any major the opportunity to explore the commercial real estate industry, learn the basics of real estate financial analysis, and supplement their primary degree with an officially recognized minor in real estate.
After earning credit for ACC 310F or ACC 311, a student with upper-division standing may apply for admission to the minor. Admission is based on a student’s overall academic record, including, but not limited to, hours and number of courses taken in residence, demonstrated interest in real estate, and the overall University grade point average.
