REAL PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT MINOR   2005-07 Catalog
College

Architecture & Environmental Design Bldg. (05), Room 212
(805) 756-1321

This minor is designed for students who are interested in the built environment, and want to deepen their knowledge of how projects get initiated, move through the development process, and then how they are managed after construction.

The program is designed to prepare students for entry-level employment with professionals engaged in real property development.  Courses include aspects of practitioners’ real world experiences and knowledge of state-of-the-art practices, techniques, and challenges.

Students learn about the economic, design, environmental, and regulatory factors that influence housing, office, industrial, and commercial projects.  They gain a clearer understanding of how these factors impact green development, urban sprawl, place-making, and transit oriented development.

Interested students should contact the City and Regional Planning Department for individual advisement.
