W. P. Carey MRED
In only nine months, the W. P. Carey Master of Real Estate Development (MRED) program prepares you for the business of real estate. You’ll 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.
Academics
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.
