If you want recommendations for good colleges in Real Estate, you should go to US World and Business Report. You can also go on-line and see other rankings of top schools in real estate. If the ranking is thorough, it should breakdown the types of classes that enables the rankings and see if that is a fit with the type of real estate you are interested in. Some schools are great for national reputation, while others are known for their local presence.
Wherever you wind up, most successful RE individuals will go for additional degrees or certifications after attaining their undergraduate degree when they are more focused in their particular field.

Check the requirements for a real estate license in your state. It may require some college, but will also likely require courses taken outside of a traditional college, such as at a real estate specific school. A degree in business is always a plus. You should focus your studies on business law, contracts, accounting, finance, etc.
Commercial real estate may require a college degree specific to business or even commercial real estate. Some universities are now offering advanced degrees in commercial real estate.

If you want to obtain your license and have adequate required college credits in your state. Next, to move forward in real estate, find a real estate school that is accredited by your state licensing entity. You can usually take these extra courses on-line or in person. Once you complete the state required courses ( usually outside of a "Normal" college), and are ready to take the state licensing test, take a "license test preparation" course, as they will drill you on the actual test and questions in order for you to pass with ease.
If you are just beginning your college,education, business, management and marketing majors are options for a solid degree that will give you the tools to succeed in real estate. After you have your required college hours and pass the state real estate exam, look for a strong training firm that will teach you on the REAL daily tasks you need to complete for sure success. It's important that you find a good mentor as soon as possible. Best of luck.
