No specific undergraduate courses are required for consideration for admission to the program. The application procedures and admission criteria are given in the “Master’s Admissions” section of this chapter.

Certificate Requirements

Regulations for the Certificate Program

All Graduate Certificate in Real Estate students will complete the Business Communication Skills Requirement explained earlier in this chapter. The regulations, policies, and procedures given in the “Master’s Enrollment” and “Master’s Programs” sections of this chapter apply to the C.R.E. program. The time limit for completing the certificate program is two calendar years. The program requires 18 semester hours of course work. A maximum of nine hours of transfer credit is permitted in this program. A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 is required.
