Student Testimonials

Ameenah Williams relocated from Florida to Maryland. She has a Bachelors in Interior Design and a Masters in Architecture. She is an active, member of AAREP (African American Real Estate Professionals), ICSC (International Council of Shopping Centers), APX (Alpha Rho Chi – National Fraternity of Architecture and Allied Arts), and a volunteer with Habitat for Humanity. Currently Ameenah is working for The Peterson Companies coordinating Downtown Silver Spring, the Washingtonian in Gaithersburg, MD, and the Milestone in Germantown, MD. During the week, she handles everything from tenant relations, problem solving, billing, and placing work orders. Her goal in pursuing a Master of Real Estate Development is to gain a better understanding of the financial aspect of running a lifestyle center such as Downtown Silver Spring, or The Washingtonian Center. Ameenah says, "the MRED classes, definitely will help to enhance my understanding of my project's budget reports. I must really thank Professor Gomez, who helped me get the concepts of net operating income(NOI), cash flows, income and expenses, down; also kudos to my finance professors Mike Daugard and Jud Ryan now that CAM and lease assumptions are no longer foreign!"

Tatiana Nelson-Joseph is a current MRED student. She is taking classes part-time and hopes to graduate in 2 years. Tatiana is a native of Washington D.C. but spent a few years in New York City, where she earned an Associate Degree in Accessories Design from The Fashion Institute of Technology. Tatiana earned her Bachelor's degree in business from the George Washington University in 2001, and a Masters of Fine Art in Sculpture from Howard University in 2004. Tatiana has worked as a Transaction Analyst at a local utility company and taught art classes at a local college. Having once taught graphic and interior design, Tatiana looks to develop a career that "marries my interests in business and design, while making a difference in the community." She says the reputation of the MRED program brought her to the University of Maryland. Her future goal is to become a successful real estate developer and focus on the mid-atlantic region.

John Hersey, current student, grew up in Beverly, MA and until recently had never lived west of the Connecticut River. He received a B.A. in sustainable urban planning and an Master if Regional Planning from University of Massachusetts - Amherst in 2005 and 2007, respectively. John has worked in sustainable transportation planning for four years and now has experience in creating healthy, equitable, convenient, and attractive places. John believes, "transportation is at the heart of economic development, which underpins much of planning.” His goal at the Colvin Institute is to learn more about the financial mechanisms available and techniques used to build communities today in order to improve our built environment tomorrow. John values the interdisciplinary nature of the MRED program and the school's reputation. He says, "Eventually, I humbly came around to how little I knew about real estate and how important it is to not just referee the game (i.e., planning) but to actually play it (i.e. development)."

The Master of Real Estate Development (MRED) program is comprised of 11 courses with two foundational core courses in law and finance; a capstone course undertaken as either a project feasibility study or a topical applied research paper; three electives; and 5 cognate courses with students selecting one course from multiple offerings in valuation/market analysis, planning, design, construction and asset management. On a case-by-case basis, the Program Director may accept a substitute course for a required core or cognate course if justified by the student’s prior educational background or work experience. MRED is not a cohort program with a required sequence of courses, although students taking additional levelling courses must do so in their first and second semesters. Thereafter, students go on to take the fundamental courses in Development Law and Foundations of Development Finance. No courses from prior degrees may be transferred for credit towards the MRED degree except for additional leveling courses required for students without a business degree or extensive real estate experience.

Many related electives are available in such focused areas as sustainability, adaptive reuse, finance, affordable housing, planning, and transportation. In addition, students may take relevant courses at the Smith School of Business, the Clark School of Engineering, the Department of Landscape Architecture, and the School of Public Policy.

Program Philosophy: Educating for The Quadruple Bottom Line

The location of the MRED program in the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation means you will have the opportunity to study with professors and students in highly related, but often overlooked parts of the development process—the broader context of planning and politics, design and construction, and property management—as well as standard finance and investment courses.

We believe here at Maryland that this is not only the best the University and our development partners and sponsors have to offer you, but that it is also a superior preparation for entering or advancing in the development industry. Your professors will provide theoretical and academic materials as well as the practical application of theory. Most of your professors will be practitioners active in the real estate arena.

In sum, your degree from Maryland is about preparing you to build for a sustainable future. Development projects you promote and participate in or undertake yourselves will aim for a rich quadruple bottom line—one that is not only economically viable, but also environmentally respectful, socially responsible and, not to be overlooked, aesthetically pleasing.

Program Pedagogy: Collaborative, Comprehensive, Professional Education

We take an integrated, interdisciplinary and balanced approach to real estate development education. This means you take courses that address all aspects of the real estate business. Yes, real estate is a business, and finance is critical to making it work, but all the other principles and professionals from planning to property managers, are an integral part of successful development. None of those aspects are overlooked in Maryland's Master's degree in Real Estate Development.

You will take at least one course in every phase of development, plus two or more cross-cutting courses, such as development law, and at least one or more "skills" classes, such as negotiations. In addition you will have the opportunity to select several narrowly focused electives. If you are keen to start your business you can take a course in entrepreneurship (RDEV688P) to learn business plan skills and hear from local developers about the multiple paths to success.

Your professors and courses will provide both a theoretical and practical knowledge base, with site visits, practice exercises and visiting lecturers who are active in all facets of development. Textbooks, journal articles and theses, are balanced with pro formas, policy memoranda and field studies. Each student is expected to become actively engaged in the local chapter of a real estate trade association, to stay up with current business reporting on real estate in the region, the nation and the world, and to participate in the life of the community they seek to shape going forward.

By the time you complete your capstone project you should be well equipped to understand and communicate with the array of professionals who contribute to a successful real estate project—planners, politicians, policy makers, community advocates, financiers, architects, appraisers, market analysts, engineers, contractors, investment bankers and property and asset managers.

Curriculum/Schedule

Completion of a 33-credit/hour program culminates in an MRED degree awarded by the Graduate School of the University of Maryland. Students may elect (or be advised) to follow one of the following paths:

Full-Time (21 months)
Full-Time with Levelling (21 months)
Part-Time (24-36 months)
Accelerated (12 months)

Students are admitted in both the Fall (August) and Spring (January) semesters. In certain circumstances, students may take a course in the summer or winter prior to their official admission. Students may be required or advised to take up to 9 credits of additional leveling courses that would add time to complete the MRED degree. Students may take an accounting course at the undergraduate level at the University or an approved community college with prior permission. Applicants must produce a capstone project or research thesis to complete the degree. The program is not a cohort program and not all courses will be offered every term.

The program is tailored to each student’s background and interest; for example, a student with a strong background in—or pursuing another graduate degree in—an area such as architecture or finance, would have the core courses (but not credits) in those areas waived. Additional electives or more advanced courses will be substituted with the advice and approval of the Director. Graduate courses taken at other institutions may not be transferred for credit toward the degree. Up to nine credits may be transferred from approved programs at the University of Maryland for elective credit. Application fees and tuition costs are fixed per course hour according to in-state or out-of-state status.

Prospective Students

The Real Estate Development Program at the University of Maryland embraces a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary approach to real estate education addressing all facets of the industry from planning to property management, finance to construction. We educate our real estate students to develop for a Quadruple Bottom Line concerned not only for the old-fashioned financial bottom line, but more broadly for Economic Viability, Environmental Respect, Social Responsibility and Beautiful Design.

Besides undertaking the work in your courses, you will find multiple opportunities to interact with industry professionals, many of whom will come to lecture in your classes or work with you on your capstone project. In addition, we encourage early and frequent involvement with one of the many development trade associations located in this region.

To learn more, please visit our Prospective Students page.

Newly Admitted Students

Now that you received admission to the Master of Real Estate Development Program you are no doubt asking, “What’s next?” We have prepared this checklist for you so that your transition to graduate school is as smooth and effortless as possible. Keep in mind if you encounter problems we’re here to help you. Please reach out to us and we will try to get you the information you need.

New Student Checklist: Pre-Arrival

Below you will find several activities that you will need to engage in prior to arriving in College Park. As soon as you have decided to enroll at the University of Maryland, you should begin to address the items below.

Accept your offer of admission. You can do this by following the information provided to you in the official letter of admission from the Graduate School that was emailed to you. Visit the online applicant portal, select “accept” offer of admission, and make a $300.00 non-refundable deposit. These funds will be applied to your bursar account.

Set up your Directory ID and email address. Your access to University of Maryland email and use of your Directory ID is absolutely essential. Visit http://it.umd.edu/new/student.html to set up your access to these important tools. Your Directory ID and password is used to access University of Maryland resources, such as the registration system (Testudo) and your university email account (email.umd.edu). Please note that your university e-mail account will use your directory id as your email address.

Check and carefully read your email at least three times a week. The School uses University email and the School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation website as the primary means of communication to students. Checking your email infrequently could result in missing important information. You are still responsible for knowing information sent to your university e-mail even if it is not your primary e-mail address.

Find a place to live. Priority for residence hall housing is given to full-time undergraduate students. Graduate students at the University of Maryland can request residence hall housing. However, there are no facilities within the residence hall system exclusively for graduate students or for spouses, partners or family members of students. Information about additional housing options in nearby communities is available from the University's Off-Campus Housing Services and Graduate Student Life staff members. To search for housing options, please start by visiting Off-Campus Housing Services, where an online database can be used to match housing criteria you select, such as type of housing and price range, to currently listed/available rental housing in College Park and surrounding communities.

Apply for financial aid. The Office of Financial Aid assists students with securing federal, state, and institutional financial aid. Early applications are recommended. Visit the Office of Financial Aid website to find out how to apply. Please note: International students are not eligible to apply for financial aid.

Complete immunization requirements. If you have not done so already, turn in the required immunization records to the University Health Center. You can find the required form here. If you have any questions regarding immunization, please call (301) 314-8114.

Graduate Assistantships and Teaching Assistantships. We endeavor to inform applicants to GA and TA positions of the status of their application prior to April 15th. Notification will be via email from the Real Estate Development Program Director. If you receive a GA or TA position, you will be notified of your actual assignment in July. The Director will provide you with a contract outlining your duties and responsibilities. It is important for you to review the contract thoroughly as it is a legal document and when you sign it you are legally bound to the terms outlined therein. Prior to the beginning of the semester there will be a GA and TA orientation conducted by Ms. Monica Herrera, the School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation’s HR representative. Attendance at this meeting is mandatory.

Register for courses. Once you have been accepted and have your University ID number you will be able to register for courses. Students should be familiar with the deadlines for adding and dropping courses. Adjusting class schedules after the deadlines will incur additional financial charges. You can register for classes through Testudo, the site for interactive Web services for students.

We encourage all new graduate students to wait until late June to register for courses. The Real Estate Development Program Assistant, Gérard Boulin, will prompt you to register when we are ready on our end. Generally, the initial semester of each graduate program is prescribed in the curriculum attached to your letter of admission that was sent to you by the Director of the Real Estate Development Program. Usually the initial semester requires little advising.

Most courses have “blocks” that limit enrollment to Master of Real Estate Development students only. When you are ready to register, you will need to be in touch with Gérard Boulin so he may remove the “blocks” so that you can register. We recommend that you register within 24-48 hours so that your access to courses is guaranteed.

If you are a dual degree student, you will need to coordinate your registration process with both the Real Estate Development Program Assistant and the other program in which you are enrolled. The Architecture and Preservation programs also have “blocks” associated with their courses that can only be removed by their advising teams.
