Housing Management and Policy BSFCS



Overview

The Housing Management and Policy major focuses on individual and family housing needs and the ways the family, the private sector, and governments respond to those needs. The program features an in-depth study of housing policy, residential property management practices, housing finance and the range of housing alternatives. The program may also be used as preparation for graduate study or as a pre-professional degree. Students may choose an emphasis in Residential Property Management which prepares them for careers in the multifamily housing industry, a rapidly-growing field in which qualified individuals are in high demand. Coursework includes marketing and leasing, management, accounting, housing development, human resources, technology services, legal issues, and training.

Students can also take courses in a Community Development track, which provides students with the knowledge and skills to improve the quality of life and economic vitality of communities through local housing and revitalization strategies. Students choosing the Community Development track will be prepared for careers in housing-related positions within local, state, and federal government; program coordinators; managers and directors of non-profit organizations; private residential real estate firms that serve low- and moderate-income households; and more.
