    University Equivalencies & Graduate Degrees

    If you are pursuing a graduate degree (i.e., MSRE, MRED or an MBA with a specialization in real estate) your education may be evaluated for equivalencies related to qualifying education and prerequisite designation education.

    If one or more courses or examinations offered by an accredited college, junior college, community college, or university are equivalent to one or more Appraisal Institute courses and examinations requirement for membership, an individual may request evaluation for consideration.

    Interested in Achieving an Appraisal Institute Designation?

    Individuals who have completed coursework from an accredited college or university that they consider equivalent to the Appraisal Institute's prerequisite education may submit a request for evaluation to determine whether the coursework satisfies one or more of the Appraisal Institute’s prerequisite requirements toward designation. This evaluation process intends to ensure that qualified individuals receive appropriate credit for comparable education.

    Looking for Equivalency Credit with Your State?

    Any approved educational equivalency is solely recognized by the Appraisal Institute for the purpose of fulfilling designation prerequisites. Coursework completed at an academic institution could be applied toward state licensing or credentialing requirements; however, only state licensing agencies can make such a determination. For more information, please contact your state and visit The Appraisal Foundation’s Real Estate Degree Review Program webpage for more information.
