Our mission

The Virginia Undergraduate Real Estate Club offers its members a forum for education and continuous learning about the real estate industry.

We help UVA students build a working knowledge of the industry and prepare them for careers across it. Every new member completes a semester-long training program covering real estate investing and development, and the club hosts speakers from many parts of the field each year.

As a McIntire School of Commerce club, VUREC draws on the resources of both the School of Commerce and the School of Architecture.

Open to every UVA student

VUREC brings together students and faculty from across the University to talk about the real estate profession, the impact of development, and related fields such as architecture, finance and urban planning. No prior industry knowledge is required.

Our members come from

  • McIntire School of Commerce

  • School of Architecture

  • School of Engineering and Applied Science

  • College of Arts & Sciences

No real estate experience required.

Membership is by application and open to students in every school and year. Applications for Spring 2027 open in January or February, following the Spring Club Fair.
