What you’ll be able to do

  • Identify features of the built environment that distinguish real estate from other asset classes.

  • Summarize the development process from project conception and financing to asset disposition, with a particular focus on the role of the developer as the strategic coordinator of many disciplines and manager of risk analysis.

  • Identify and illustrate the “Land Ethic”, and that real estate is a social enterprise as well as private business and, therefore, that external benefits, ethical considerations, and sustainability are important criteria for real estate decisions alongside traditional measures of profitability.

  • Analyze how to network and cooperate with local, state, and national professionals to obtain insights and information needed for the development process, share market data and, perspectives, discuss investment ideas and identify sources of material and financial resources.

  • Differentiate and apply market, linkage, and macroeconomic data for the purpose of forecasting real estate trends, appraising value, and making prudent and sustainable investment decisions, and prepare a real estate development analysis, financing, and valuation principles.

About this estimate

The course’s semester-average GPA, not an individual student’s grade. The center uses 4 same-season terms, weighted toward recent results.

The range uses the finite-sample 80th-percentile rank of absolute errors from earlier same-season forecasts. Each forecast uses only records from earlier terms. At least four forecasts are required; bounds are rounded outward and limited to 0–4. This is an empirical estimate: changing instructors or grading policies can reduce its coverage.

About this comparison

1286 courses over the same term, each with at least 30 recorded letter grades. Cross-listed courses count once. GPA is not a measure of difficulty or teaching quality. The typical course is the median by recorded grade count; tied values are not counted as lower. Grade counts describe course scale, not unique students or typical section size.

Descriptions compare GPA with this group’s average: at least 0.20 higher or lower; otherwise close to average. Section size uses median recorded enrollment: small up to 30, mid-sized 31–99, large 100+. Lectures and discussion/lab sections are described separately.
