In only nine months, the W.P. Carey Master of Real Estate Development (MRED) program prepares you for the
business of real estate. You will learn to lead real estate development projects that are environmentally respectful,
socially responsible, and artfully designed. And engagement with motivated classmates, esteemed faculty, industry
organizations, and deeply connected MRED alumni will expand your professional network and open the door to
future opportunities.
The MRED program is a transdisciplinary partnership between four highly regarded schools within Arizona State
University:
* The W.P. Carey School of Business
* The Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
* The Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts
* The Del E. Webb School of Construction
The MRED brings together all four disciplines, giving you a well-rounded real estate development education-
providing new perspectives and strengthening your decision-making skills. Three formal MRED synthesis projects
cover the entire spectrum of development, from residential to mixed use. Each synthesis project is presented to and
evaluated by industry leaders and MRED faculty, providing you indispensable feedback.
In addition to the credibility of earning a transdisciplinary ASU master's degree, a recent $15 million investment by
the W.P. Carey Foundation in career services will provide you more opportunities to meet with a broader range of
employers and have better access to career coaching and tools to help you succeed in your career.
