A unique and effective degree, the Master of Real Estate Development (MRED) program at the David Eccles School of Business delivers the knowledge and hands-on experience you need to build and sustain a successful real estate career. What’s more, the program gives you a clear and uncommon edge in today’s increasingly sophisticated and specialized world.

A joint venture between the Eccles School and the College of Architecture + Planning, the MRED program is designed for students and professionals with varied backgrounds and experience. The program employs a flexible format, with late-afternoon and evening classes that accommodate both working professionals and full-time students.

MRED students are part of a dynamic learning environment with professors who are industry experts in real estate finance, land development, market analysis, economics, government, law, construction, and more. Students, professors, and alumni have opportunities to connect throughout the program and often continue to associate professionally after graduation. Many employment, investment, affiliate, association, and venture opportunities are best shared through these relationships. Additionally, with frequent study trip opportunities, MRED students network across the U.S. and the world.

In the MRED program, we believe strongly in learning by doing. Students take the knowledge gained in the classroom and put it to use in case studies and projects that analyze real-life situations, current market and finance conditions and the most recent trends. They access and contribute to the latest real-world research through the Ivory-Boyer Real Estate Center and put their knowledge to the test through competitions such as the Utah Real Estate Challenge.

MRED students have the opportunity to be paired with professional mentors and industry insiders at the top of their fields. Students meet with their mentors monthly to gain knowledge and insight into their experience, their business practices, and their areas of expertise. The information and networking that emerge from these relationships are unrivaled within the real estate industry.

The David Eccles School of Business at the University of Utah is located on the foothills of the Wasatch Mountain Range, just a short train ride or drive from the heart of Salt Lake City. Our campus features state-of-the-art learning and living spaces with the luxury of world-class outdoor recreation only minutes away.
