<p>Does anyone have any links or resources on this type of law? I am a junior in a civil engineering program and think I'd like to go in the direction of urban planning / real estate development / real estate law after undergrad. Possibly work in a large commercial development firm.... or in local government... I don't know really. I've found dual degree programs that would provide a masters in urban planning or real estate development and also a law degree with a concentration in real estate. I don't know exactly what I would do with these degrees (along with my civil engineering major, history & math minor undergrad) but I think it would give a wide range of options. </p>
<p>Can anyone provide some insight? Any ideas? Possible jobs that this could lead to?</p>
<p>Anovice: I remember you when you were applying to engineering school two years ago. Congratulations on getting through so far. Unfortunately I can't give you any more information than you seem to have already gathered, but, as when you were looking at engineering schools, you seem to be well organized again.</p>
<p>I spoke to someone at the office where I'm interning this summer and they said that their in house lawyer did undergrad in urban planning and then went to law school... so it's somewhat similar to what I want to do. The company I'm working for is a big urban planning/civil engineering company and the individual I spoke to gave some insight on what their lawyer does and how his urban planning background is so helpful. </p>
<p>i'm doing a joint degree in law and urban planning at Michigan, but i just started and therefore don't have much advice to give.</p>
<p>one thing i can say--michigan was the only place where you didn't have to take the gres in addition to the lsats in order to apply for the joint degree. </p>
<p>nyu also has some great real estate law classes--so much so that had i chosen to go there, i probably wouldn't have wanted to do a joint degree. columbia's focus seems to be more on commercial/largescale real estate, and berkeley's urban planning program had a lot of classes on green building. </p>
<p>I figured I'd bump this up rather than starting a new thread... if I don't get any responses I'll start a new thread.</p>
<p>So I've been looking at schools because next summer I'll be abroad and it'll be somewhat hard for me to travel around and look. It's a bit early and my stats are kind of unknown but whatever. My choices are all over the country because I don't really know where I want to be as my parents are always moving and I don't really have a "hometown". All of these programs have dual real estate or urban planning. All of them are reasonably priced. All of them seem possible in terms of admission. </p>
<p>U of Maryland (current home state)
U of Hawaii (lived there, know many people there, some in urban planning fields)
U of Richmond (have relativess there, nice place to live)
UNC Chapel Hill (lived there in the college town)
USC(love the program, probably too difficult, too expensive BUT it's only 3 years)</p>
<p>then there's Pepperdine. I'm looking into if a dual is possible because I love the area. They have other joint programs but no set urban planning one. </p>
<p>Any thoughts on these schools and their programs?</p>
