The Appraisal Qualifications Board Nationally Approves Hondros College Of Business For Associate Degree Program

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hondros College of Business, part of Hondros Education Group, now offers the only associate degree program recognized by the Appraiser Qualifications Board as an approved education provider for real property appraisers in the United States.

"We treasure flexibility for the adult learner at an unbeatable value, and this recognition is another step towards meeting the needs of our students."

Effective May 1st of 2018, The Appraiser Qualifications Board of The Appraisal Foundation established new minimum qualifications for real property appraisers in the United States.
