Application Deadlines
To be given first consideration for admission into the MLPD program, please submit your application in the Texas A&M GradCAS portal by December 15. All applications received by December 15 will be reviewed for fall admission and be given full consideration for financial aid (including our recommendations for graduate assistantships and scholarships). (The MLPD program admits students for entry in the fall and spring; the spring application deadline is October 1.)
Applications received after December 15 will be reviewed and considered for admission — however, considerations for financial aid may be limited.
If you are a current Texas A&M undergraduate senior (of any major), you may consider applying to our program via the Aggie Priority application within the Texas A&M GradCAS application portal.
We will begin our formal review of MLPD applications after January 15. Applicants can expect a response letter from our department regarding a decision on their application sometime between late February and Mid-March. A separate offer letter will follow if financial aid is being offered. April 15 is our deadline for applicants to return offer letters to LAUP to indicate their intention to study land and property development at Texas A&M University.
Thank you for your interest in our MLPD program. We look forward to reviewing your application!
Application Requirements
In addition to the university graduate admission requirements, the Master of Land and Property Development (MLPD) program requires the following.
Minimum Education
A bachelor’s degree is required for admission to the MLPD program.
Admitted applicants who are still earning the prerequisite degree are admitted contingent on the completion of that degree. Applicants who do not meet this contingency must reapply after graduation.
Résumé
Résumés should include your employment history, educational record, publications, awards, and any community/volunteer experiences you may have. Please upload your résumé to the Texas A&M GradCas System.
Statement of Purpose
Your statement of purpose should clearly demonstrate your interest in the program. Statements of purpose are used to gauge whether an applicant will be a good fit in the program based on prior experiences.
References
You should provide three letters of recommendation from individuals who are familiar with your academic achievement and potential. If you have been out of school for a number of years and are unable to contact former professors, you may submit non-academic references (e.g., employers).
Applicants can access the electronic letter of recommendation system available via the Texas A&M GradCas System.
Test Scores
The MLPD program does not require Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores for admittance at this time.
