About the course

The Master of Land and Property Development (MLPD) at Texas A&M is where real estate design meets business. You’ll learn to pair business and finance with physical planning, design and construction to develop residential and commercial properties.

　　You will also gain the practical skills needed to succeed in the real estate industry. We will prepare you to convert land from one use to another, from selecting the right piece of land to developing the property.

　　The MLPD draws from all of the disciplines in the School of Architecture to turn an idea into a place. We approach real estate from a holistic, interdisciplinary perspective that’s rooted in land development education. Our coursework will equip you to acquire, create and invest in projects with sustainable value. Unique to this program, you’ll also learn how to subdivide land, negotiate development agreements, and assemble a team of consultants to develop and operate a real estate enterprise.

　　Our program teaches the process of development using hands-on and experience-based approaches. Beyond the classroom, student organizations such as the Real Estate Development Association provide direct access to real estate development professionals throughout the state. Field trips, a speaker series, and networking events with groups such as the Urban Land Institute (ULI) develop our students academically and professionally.

　　Our MLPD program also provides a fast track for students to earn the CCIM designation after graduation Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
