UC Berkeley’s MRED+D: Get Started!
Grounded in fundamentals, rigorous training, and socio-economic responsibility
If you’re passionate about real estate development, UC Berkeley’s Master of Real Estate Development + Design (MRED+D) is your next step. This interdisciplinary program integrates the fundamentals of real estate with forward-thinking approaches to sustainability, equity, and resilience.
Whether you opt for the one-year, full-time or two-years, part-time option, you’ll start your MRED+D experience with an intensive session that builds foundational skills, such as financial modeling. Over the course of the next semesters, you’ll advance to case studies and real-world problem-solving, and finish with a self-directed capstone project.
What sets UC Berkeley’s MRED+D apart is its emphasis not only on technical expertise — in finance, land use law, policy, construction, and development — but also on social and environmental responsibility. This is reinforced by a comprehensive professional development program that strengthens your communication, public speaking, and resume-building skills, while connecting you to a robust professional and alumni network through mentorship, career events, and hands-on industry engagement.
From day one, you’re not just studying real estate: you’re engaging with the profession and preparing to practice!
