Real Estate (Minor)
Why study Real Estate?
Real estate contributes significantly to economic value creation, representing almost 15% of the gross domestic product in Canada and standing as a leading industry within Quebec. It is widely recognized as the best alternative asset class to traditional stocks and bonds, often serving as the largest lifetime investment for most households.
Getting into the real estate market, whether you’re buying property for personal use or investment purposes, requires an understanding of financing, markets and regulations. Your study of real estate will cover topics like real estate valuation, financing and investment strategies, as well as sustainability, economics, urban planning and public policy, among other key topics.
Students who add this minor to their business program may pursue diverse career opportunities in real estate investment and development, asset management, consulting, valuation, leasing, financing, brokerage and property management, as well as positions within pension funds and other institutions focusing on alternative asset investments.
Special funding for out-of-province students
Up to $4000 for undergraduate programs.
