Department/Division

The Department of Finance, Law, and Real Estate offers 3 different degree Options: Finance, Business Arts-Prelegal, and Real Estate. The option in Finance prepares students into careers in financial advisory, corporate finance, money management, and commercial and investment banking. The option in Business Arts-Prelegal enables students to prepare for legal careers by combining business and humanities courses. The objective of this option is to combine a general business education with option electives that suit individual requirements. Option electives may be chosen in the humanities and often include reading and writing skills that are important for postgraduate study of law. The option in Real Estate prepares students for real estate licensing examinations and helps achieve careers in real estate. It also prepares students for further study of real estate at the postgraduate level. In addition to the options, the Department of Finance, Law, and Real Estate offers Minors in Finance and Real Estate as well as the post-baccalaureate Certificate in Real Estate.
