Back to Nova Southeastern University
You can get a head start on your property management and real estate career by enrolling in Nova Southeastern University’s James Donnelly Property Management and Real Estate program—the only one of its kind in Florida. Developed in conjunction with the CEO of one of South Florida’s largest property management organizations, Castle Group, this bachelor of science degree will give you the skills and industry knowledge you need to be successful in the industry.
Property management and real estate professionals need to be leaders who are sharp, adaptable, and ready to explore creative solutions for maximizing revenue for the property owner while serving the needs of the property’s tenants. At NSU, you’ll build a solid foundation in business while being exposed to several aspects of the property management and real estate industry including valuation, maintenance, and operations. You’ll also gain access to a network of industry professionals that can help you in achieving your goals. Upon successful completion of the program you’ll be prepared to thrive in a challenging and fast-paced career or continue to the Master of Science in Real Estate Development program.
Supporting NSU Students
James Donnelly, a member of NSU’s Board of Trustees, has made a visionary investment in the expansion of NSU’s Bachelor of Science in Property Management and Real Estate program. As the Founder and Chairman of Castle Group, one of Florida’s largest property management organizations, Donnelly was instrumental in creating the program and continues his support. To honor his gift, the program will now be known as the James Donnelly Property Management and Real Estate Program.
“It is such an honor and privilege for me to give back to the industry that was so good to me and do whatever I can to support these terrific NSU students.”

Why Should You Major in Property Management and Real Estate at NSU?
Expand Your Career Opportunities in Real Estate
While in many cases, you don’t need a college degree to become a real estate agent or property manager, almost everyone agrees—a degree in business is highly recommended and gives you an edge in the job hunt. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics states that many employers prefer to hire college graduates and that job opportunities are best for those with a college degree in business administration or real estate, in addition to those who obtain professional credentials. A B.S.B.A. in Property Management and Real Estate degree offers you more career opportunities, with the flexibility to work in virtually any location you desire.
During your undergraduate studies, you’ll have a number of hands-on opportunities to gain real world experience.
Case Competitions
Case competitions are one of our most popular opportunities for all of NSU’s business majors. A case competition starts with a fictitious or real “problem.” Students then work individually or in teams to identify possible solutions and present them to a panel of judges. Each competition provides incentives for both the winners and participants, in addition to earning an ExEL unit credit.
Internships
In addition to case competitions, property management and real estate majors enjoy exclusive internships at companies like Castle Group.
You’ll also have access to our Corporate Speaker Series, workshops, and employer networking events, which bring you face-to-face with leading organizations and Fortune 500 executives.
