Broker Requirements in California
There is an education option in lieu of the experience to satisfy the broker licencing requirements in California. The requirement states you need a degree from a 4-year university and a minor in real estate. I already have a B.S in Engineering (~10 years ago) from a 4-year university, so I'm thinking to enroll at a local 4 year University that offers a minor program in real estate. Does this satisfy the education requirement or do I have to get the minor and major at the same time from the same university?

@Minesh Patel I may have misunderstood you? There are two licensees in California. One is the basic Salesperson license who would need to work under the second (A Brokers License) Yes you need to get a Salesperson license first and there are minimal requirements.
Good Investing...
