About the MRED+U Program

The Master of Real Estate Development + Urbanism (MRED+U) program blends the fundamentals of real estate development with livable community design. The program offers an immersive experience in one of the world's most dynamic metropolitan regions and real estate markets, providing exceptional exposure to industry leaders across all sectors.

MRED+U is a highly interdisciplinary, 36-credit graduate program that can be completed in 11 months (Fall, Spring, and Summer sessions) or spread over additional semesters. The program is integrated into the school through interdisciplinary courses, design and development studios, competitions, study-abroad programs, and a school wide Capstone Workshop sponsored and organized by the program. The program maintains strong ties with the Miami Herbert Business School, the Law School, and the College of Engineering through joint courses, events, and initiatives.

Over the past decade, the MRED+U has grown into the largest graduate program in the school and among its peers at other institutions, with 60 full- and part-time students matriculating in 2025. Growth in applications and enrollment has been driven by word-of-mouth endorsements from alumni and advisory board members who highlight the immersive educational experience both inside and outside the classroom.

Students come from diverse academic and professional backgrounds, with about one-third from Florida, one-third from other states, and one-third from different countries.

The large MRED+U Advisory Board, composed of outstanding real estate industry leaders, actively engages with students by serving as mentors, providing internships and job opportunities, guest lecturing in classes, arranging site visits, and participating in events. The annual Real Estate Impact Conference, held in partnership with the Miami Herbert Business School, is a flagship event for the region, drawing over 800 industry leaders and 100 students each spring.

Funding from the advisory board supports scholarships, student travel, software and database subscriptions, marketing, events, and activities. The program's success reflects the talent and stability of a dedicated administrative team and faculty, and a highly engaged advisory board that provides both human and financial resources to enrich the student experience.
