        Master of Real Estate Development

         

        Field Studies

        Students in the Master of Real Estate Development program participate in a variety of field studies, offering invaluable insights into domestic and international markets and hands-on experience with diverse real estate practices

        There are three domestic opportunities and one international, where we will take you to projects in various stages of development. You’ll have the chance to speak directly with developers, architects, contractors, equity firms, and regulatory officials, and get an on-site look at how some of the most interesting projects are created.

        Domestic Field Studies

        For the domestic field studies, you will travel with MRED faculty and examine innovative real estate development projects and meet with industry leaders in different regions of the United States.

        Philadelphia, PA

        During your first semester, this field study trip is led by David Hinson, Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies in the College of Architecture, Design and Construction. You will have the ability to see, firsthand, real estate development and community development projects in Philadelphis, undergoing various phases of the development process.

        Western U.S. 

        This field study trip is led by Ben Farrow, Ph.D., Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and International Programs, and Paul Holley, Ph.D., Director of the Center for Construction Innovation and Collaboration, both from the College of Architecture, Design, and Construction. You will travel to a location in the Western U.S., such as Portland, OR, or Seattle, WA, to gain firsthand experience with real estate projects.

        International Field Studies

        Broaden your horizon by joining the MRED International Field Study. Our experience has shown that direct interaction with international developers opens the door to new ideas and new ways of assembling the pieces of a deal.

        The trip's locations vary every year, but in past field studies, students have been to places in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, South America, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
