If you have a degree in fields such as architecture, city planning, landscape architecture, urban studies, business, law, public policy, or engineering, please apply! Note that undergraduate degrees may be either BA/BS degrees or 5-year professional undergraduate degrees. The program welcomes applicants from other fields who have a desire to pursue a career in real estate development. The ideal candidate will also have experience in professional practice.
We welcome students from diverse backgrounds, with a diverse array of education, training, and professional experience. This diversity radically increases the educational value of the program, as students learn from each other as well as from faculty and professional affiliates.
Applicants are required to follow UC Berkeley Graduate Council and Graduate Division requirements including having a bachelor’s degree from an acceptable institution, a minimum 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale, and a minimum TOEFL/IELTS score (if applicable). Applicants are also expected to submit scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), include at least 3 Letters of Recommendation in their application package, and have a first professional degree and/or relevant professional experience.
In addition, working knowledge of Excel spreadsheet modeling and basic financial accounting among incoming students is expected. Incoming students without such preparation will need to complete technical skill preparation courses, which are offered online at a variety of universities, for example Harvard Business School. Those students requiring such technical courses will need to demonstrate successful completion before classes commence.
The full MRED+D Program tuition is $74,000, not including student health insurance (SHIP) fees, books/supplies, and living allowances. Fees cover University of California tuition and graduate professional student fees, and provide access to university and college resources, including computing labs, printing/plotting, etc. In addition, the fee covers costs associated with students travel to the national Urban Land Institute Annual Fall Meeting.

The MRED+D covers the fundamentals of real estate markets, finance, urban economics, property and land use law, project feasibility analysis, and the details of the urban development process. But we include ‘design’ in the degree’s name for a reason. The MRED+D program goes beyond tradition, to link real estate to the world of design based on two convictions. One is that successful real estate development requires excellence in urban design, planning, and sustainability. The other is that design thinking – the iterative process of problem finding, prototyping solutions, and iterative critique – is fundamental to producing the most valued and valuable real estate projects.
Program graduates enjoy a dual edge, offering employers and clients, expertise in real estate finance and development along with a knowledge base in design and the built environment. Alumni of Berkeley’s MRED+D program are excellent candidates for careers in:
Real estate entrepreneurship
Real estate investment and development
Engineering and law firms
Architecture, city planning, urban design and landscape architecture
International development agencies and NGOs
Public housing authorities, redevelopment agencies, community development departments, or regional planning agencies
Nonprofit housing developers and community development organizations
