Does anyone have a minor in real estate or taken masters in real estate courses?

I wrote an article on my blog about real estate degrees. I am wondering if anyone has a minor in real estate or taken masters in real estate courses. I'm wondering what Kind of Info they teach.

@Mark Ferguson - any particular reason you are looking to get a degree in real estate? None of the colleges are going to teach you how to flip a house or make money on the investing side. They focus on taking your money (they are businesses) in exchange for a small piece of paper that claims to have taught you how to run an office, be a good boy, and work your butt off for a small percentage of the sales price which also is taxed at the highest rate. While you're studying and learning how to figure out how many sq/ft are in the south 1/2 of the northeast 1/4 and the north west 1/4 of the south east section, you could be analyzing deals, making offers, and making money.

Before you enroll in any college or university, ask the head of the department how you can make tens of thousands of dollars flipping a house without ever taking title or spending a dime on the transaction AND not have to pay any taxes on the profit. If he can't answer that question, he's wasting your time.
