OSWEGO, N.Y. — SUNY Oswego is one of the first SUNY campuses to add a real-estate minor to its academic offerings.
“Many students have an interest in real estate from across the campus. After I started the Real Estate Club, interest grew,” Graig Arcuri, a member of the finance program in the SUNY Oswego School of Business, said in a SUNY Oswego announcement.
SUNY Oswego offers classes such as “Real Estate Principles,” “Real Estate Finance,” and “Real Estate Law,” which “lay a foundation supplemented by other offerings” in the School of Business and other Oswego programs, the school said.
Support from campus club
Described by SUNY Oswego as a “major support to the minor,” the Real Estate Club provides guidance on lease agreements, rental decisions, and long-term housing strategies for buyers, renters, or investors. Members usually meet weekly in Rich Hall.
“We believe that the real estate minor will equip students with a deeper understanding of the financial freedom and generational value that real estate ownership can provide,” Alexys Lowry, a finance and marketing major and club member, said.
Last year, the club hosted a successful Real Estate Conference, with nearly 200 attendees at SUNY Oswego with presenters from the regional and local business community. The 2025 edition of the conference is scheduled for Nov. 13 and has an ambitious goal for growing attendance.
“We’re scaling up with a major event at Destiny USA, expected to draw five times the audience,” Lowry said. “The conference will feature prominent guest speakers from across the real estate industry, as well as political figures.”
