An Education Note on: Residential Property Management at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

Abstract

This paper reports on a two-phase study that serves as background for curriculum development in residential property management and the procedures followed in developing such a curriculum. Results from the mail questionnaire used in Phase / indicate that little emphasis is being given to residential property management by colleges and universities. Results from Phase II show that none of the 49 states responding ever required, currently require, or plan to require certification of housing managers. Information gained from these surveys has provided a basis for the development of a residential property management curriculum in the housing program at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
