Best Degree to become a Real Estate Developer

[Alex Stimac]

I'm entering college next year and my dream is to become a real estate developer at some point. I initially applied to colleges with a major in Construction Management but i've been reading up on the subject and noticed that most developers seem to have degrees in more business related fields.

Would it be better for me to major in something like Real Estate instead of Construction Management if I want to own a development company some day? Or would pursuing a degree as a CM be fine?
