Masters in RE acceptable in lieu of experience? CalBRE

[Andrew Fielder]

Looking to apply for my California Broker's license. I do already have my salesperson license and all of my required courses have been completed. Under the current rules, having a major or minor in Real Estate from an accredited 4-year university is an acceptable equivalent. My undergraduate university didn't offer a real estate major/minor but I went on to get a Masters of Real Estate from another university. I did call CalBRE and ask them, they said it should be fine but were not positive.

Any thoughts? Seems pretty silly if they wouldn't allow it.
