Careers

An Abbey MRED+D degree opens the door to a host of exciting career opportunities. Our goal is not only to prepare graduates with professional education and training, but also to expand their vision for the future.

Diverse career options for graduates of the Nancy and Douglas Abbey Master of Real Estate Development + Design program allow them to contribute to our society, economy, and planet – whether by starting new, innovative companies, financing net-positive real estate projects, designing climate resilient developments, or helping cities craft more inclusive and affordable neighborhoods. 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. 

In addition, the Berkeley Real Estate Club provides a chance to meet a wide range of other graduate students interested in real estate, and offers a variety of professional development opportunities. Post-graduation, Abbey MRED+Ds will join the Berkeley Real Estate Alumni Association, an extensive network of Berkeley alumni in the Bay Area, across the country, and around the world who have graduated from CED, the Haas School of Business, Berkeley Law, and other related programs.

Abbey MRED+D students also benefit from the program’s exceptional practitioner faculty and guest lecturers, industry experts who play a vital role in course instruction.
