The Appraisal Foundation’s Appraisal Qualifications Board has confirmed that the program's courses meet the Real Property Appraiser Qualification Criteria’s educational requirements. This criteria outlines the minimum education, examination, and experience requirements for real property appraisers.

The certification makes the Lindner College of Business one of 39 universities in the United States with this designation from the Appraisal Foundation.

He pointed out that students' courses can now count towards both a college degree and a professional certification. He also mentioned that the Appraisal Foundation's certification confirms that their real estate courses meet a major requirement for becoming a professional appraiser.

To meet these standards, students must fulfill three criteria involving education, appraisal experience, and appraisal examination. Carl Goertemoeller, UC Real Estate Center executive director, stated that professional appraisal is always needed in both the commercial and residential real estate sectors.

The Carl H. Lindner College of Business is recognized for its combination of academic and practical experiences. The recent certification enhances its reputation as a leading co-op business school and real estate center. It also provides opportunities for students to consider a real estate major or minor, and for potential employers to connect with emerging talent in the industry.
