柑橘直播, Pa., August 29, 2019 鈥� As a testament to the continued growth of student interest and career opportunities in real estate the 柑橘直播 School of Business (VSB), will now offer a major in Real Estate beginning with the class of 2021.

 鈥淎fter many years of offering Real Estate as a minor and a co-major, launching the major reflects VSB鈥檚 growing commitment to becoming a leader in real estate education,鈥� said Shawn Howton, PhD, Professor, Finance & Real Estate and Faculty Director, The Daniel M. DiLella Center for Real Estate.

He continued, 鈥淗aving a high-quality Real Estate major will be a differentiating factor in attracting students to VSB and is something some of our aspirant schools do not offer or offer in a limited capacity. We believe the core values of 柑橘直播 University and VSB combined with the resources available through the DiLella Center for Real Estate allow us to deliver an unparalleled educational experience.鈥�

Further supporting this growing field of study, VSB鈥檚 Department of Finance has formally changed its name to the Department of Finance and Real Estate. 鈥淭his name change is significant as it allows Real Estate majors and minors to identify with an academic department that they can now call 鈥榟ome鈥�,鈥� said Shelly Howton, PhD, Professor and Chair, Finance and Real Estate. 鈥淭he new major also allows for more cross-disciplinary integration where business, engineering and environmental sciences students can work together, which positions VSB to be recognized as a global leader in real estate education.鈥�

The major鈥檚 new curriculum is both applied and experiential, and was shaped by a task force that included academics, industry experts and the DiLella Center Advisory Council. Award-winning faculty will utilize innovative, hands on teaching methods to develop future real estate leaders within the Augustinian tradition to become responsible change agents who can positively impact communities by solving real world problems through the built environment.  

Students in the class of 2021 and 2022 will be given the option of completing the current co-major or the new major. Beginning with the class of 2023, only the major and minor will be available.
