Real Estate
Business SciencesEvery person and business has to think about real estate. Where are you going to live? Rent or buy? Where will your business operate? If you want to learn about real estate and investing, prepare for a degree or certificate or become a self-employed Salesperson, IVC Real Estate is here to help you.
View Transfer Options, Degrees & CertificatesIVC Real Estate supports its students in their goals. Certificates and Degrees focus on preparing students for the Real Estate Salesperson License, success as a self-employed business owner, the educational requirements to become a Real Estate Broker and for those transferring into a bachelors program who want to gain knowledge in this vast industry. Real estate isn’t just single-family homes and open houses. You can represent others and yourself in purchasing, leasing or managing investments, residential and commercial properties and work in finance.

IVC Real Estate Certificates of Achievement (awarded on your transcript) can be earned in as little as one semester. Certificates are “stackable” to award your accomplishments as you complete your goals.

IVC Real Estate 100-level courses are transferrable to CSUs. In addition, several California CSUs offer Real Estate Minors in their degree programs, usually housed in the School of Business.
