Situated in the Department of Urban Studies + Planning (DUSP), the real estate and development (RED) major at UCSD is one of the most comprehensive undergraduate programs of its kind in the country. It recognizes that the next generation of real estate development innovators will need to understand the nexus between real estate finance + development, data analysis, urban planning + design, environmental regulations, + new technologies. It recognizes the importance of supplementing classroom instruction with professional development opportunities and uses the San Diego-Tijuana city-region as a living laboratory for hands-on project-based learning.
The RED curriculum is broad + interdisciplinary in response to the diverse ways in which real estate impacts the ways people live, work, + enrich their lives. Required courses include economics, business management, urban planning, real estate finance, real estate law, sustainable development, + urban design. All coursework is designed to facilitate qualitative, quantitative, analytical, strategic, design, and problem-solving, solutions-oriented skills. Majors are encouraged to pair their degree with a minor in one of the many minor degrees offered at UCSD, particularly those offered by the Rady School of Management, such as the minor in business + the minor in entrepreneurship and innovation.
