Lindner, UC Real Estate Center announce appraiser certification
Real estate program first in Ohio to meet Appraisal Foundation criteria
The Carl H. Lindner College of Business and the UC Real Estate Center have announced that Lindner’s undergraduate real estate program has been certified for a real estate appraisal qualification.
The Appraisal Foundation’s Appraisal Qualifications Board has verified that the real estate courses offered by Lindner’s undergraduate real estate program meets the Real Property Appraiser Qualification Criteria’s educational requirements.

Students interested in advancing their path toward a real estate appraisal career will benefit from this endorsement, as UC is now one of just 39 universities nationally with this designation from the Appraisal Foundation — and the only one in Ohio.
“It is a real bonus when a student has the opportunity to have their courses apply not only to a college degree but also count towards a professional certification,” said Gary Painter, PhD, BEARE Professor of Real Estate and academic director of Lindner’s real estate program. “We are excited that the Appraisal Foundation has certified that our core and elective real estate courses collectively fulfill a major component for becoming a professional appraiser.”
The Appraisal Foundation sets the Congressionally authorized standards and qualifications for real estate appraisers. Students must fulfill three pillars of criteria involving education, appraisal experience and appraisal examination.
