EF 7: come caricare entità correlate in una relazione uno a molti

Ho il codice seguente. Perché le mie proprietà di navigazione (Requisito in corso e Corsi in Requisito) sono nulle?

    public class Course : AbsEntity {
            [Key]
            public string Title { get; set; }
            public string Term { get; set; }
            public int Year { get; set; }
            public string CourseId { get; set; }        
            public double GradePercent { get; set; }        
            public string GradeLetter { get; set; }     
            public string Status { get; set; }
            public int ReqId { get; set; }

            public Requirement Requirement { get; set; }
        }

    public class Requirement : AbsEntity {
            [Key]
            public int ReqId { get; set; }
            public string ReqName { get; set; }

            public ICollection<Course> Courses { get; set; }
        }

// In DbContext
    protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
            {
                modelBuilder.Entity<Course>().HasOne(c => c.Requirement).WithMany(r => r.Courses).HasForeignKey(c => c.ReqId);
                modelBuilder.Entity<Requirement>().HasMany(r => r.Courses).WithOne(c => c.Requirement);
            }
