Real Estate Institute Certificate Program
The Certificate in Real Estate
The Certificate in Real Estate is composed of nine required courses and seven elective courses and provides a comprehensive understanding of the industry and a basis for strong career growth in real estate. Students can concentrate in specific industry areas such as finance and investment, sales/brokerage, development and management, appraisal or housing and nonprofit development. Total certificate program tuition is $5,150 and a $50 application fee.
Most of the 22.5-hour courses (required) and 11.25-hour courses (electives) are New York State certified as continuing education units in real estate. The 48-hour New York State Salesperson’s Pre-Licensure Course is included as a required course for those who are not already licensed. Please note that the New York State education requirements for both Salespersons and Brokers will be expanded to 75 hours in June 2008. Please note that education requirements to become New York State Real Estate Salespersons and brokers will change as of July 1, 2008, requirements for Real Estate Appraisers will change of January 1, 2008 and new courses will be announced when requirements are official
