Longwood University’s real estate faculty has earned the university a top 20 international ranking for intellectual contributions to the field.

“I’m pleased that our real estate faculty have been recognized by their peers for their remarkable contributions to the discipline,” said Paul Barrett, dean of the College of Business and Economics.

The rankings, announced in the Journal of Real Estate Literature, are based on the number of articles published by the faculty of each institution in the top three peer-reviewed real estate journals — the Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics, Journal of Real Estate Research and Real Estate Economics.

Waller is joined on the real estate faculty by Xun Bian and Lingxiao Li, both of whom have published in these top journals. All faculty maintain full teaching schedule — putting the focus squarely on students.
