Given the increased complexity of real estate development, pursuing a specialized post-graduate degree is one of the most effective ways to acquire the necessary breadth and depth of experience in this field.

Study at a Top Ranked Real Estate LL.M. Program

LLM Guide Top 10 BadgeThe Real Property Development LL.M.  — widely regarded as the nation's best and ranked a Top 10 Real Estate Law Program worldwide by LL.M.

The Degree That Is Always an Advantage

  • Land Acquisition
  • Finance
  • Regulation
  • Tax law
  • Construction law
  • Residential and commercial development
  • Landlord- tenant
  • Closings

  • Planning strategies
  • Drafting

The program offers hands-on learning and unparalleled networking and professional development to students and alumni.
