The certificate in Real Estate Appraisal is helpful for students considering careers as real estate appraisers.

The real estate industry offers many interesting areas of employment and specialization. Positions may be found in real estate sales, appraisal, property management, finance, land development and consulting.  A real estate appraiser is authorized to estimate the value of residential and/or commercial property using various tools and techniques.  To become a licensed real estate appraiser, students are required to hold a bachelor degree in addition to appraisal coursework and experience.
