The Real Estate Certificate (RECERT) is offered by the School of Management in the Lucas College and Graduate School of Business. RECERT prepares students who are interested in understanding the business of real estate and its pivotal role in the economy. RECERT is open to all SJSU students and requires four three-unit courses. RECERT employs an interdisciplinary curriculum focusing on the principles of real estate, real estate law, real estate finance, and management. RECERT emphasizes applied learning, technology, and professional development.

University Basic Certificate Requirements​
Basic certificate programs provide opportunities for students to pursue specialized, often pre-professional, focused educational objectives that may be separate from a degree program. At least 6 units must be completed at SJSU. Students must have a minimum GPA of 2.0 in basic certificate coursework in order to be awarded a certificate. Generally, a maximum of 33% of basic certificate units (e.g., 3 units for a 9-unit certificate) can be completed in non-matriculated status at SJSU with approval from the department or school. In some cases, a basic certificate may be completed entirely through Open University if the student has completed a Bachelor’s degree and received approval from the department or school (University Policy S16-17 A). If a student has completed a Bachelor’s degree and received approval from the department or school, a basic certificate may be completed entirely through Open University.
The advisor/director of the program is responsible for verifying a student’s satisfactory completion of the academic requirements established for the program and for forwarding a copy of the certificate completion form to the Office of the Registrar. The Office of the Registrar records the completion of the program on the student’s transcript.
