Bachelor of Business Administration in Real Estate

You’ve heard the old saying: The three most important things to consider in real estate are location, location, and location. But don’t forget the economy. Or finance. Or appraisal, property law, investment analysis, and land-use controls. With a Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) in Real Estate from the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), you can learn about all of these things while preparing for a career buying, selling, and managing residential and commercial properties. This ever-changing field isn’t for the complacent: Those who do best in the industry are detail-oriented strategists as comfortable with a spreadsheet as working with clients.
