Be in the know – Income Courses:
- 2019 will be the last year that MAAO will be offering the Basic Income course.
- If math is not your strength, make sure to attend Basic Income this year followed by IAAO 102 – Income Approach to Valuation when you are able.
- Looking for a challenge? Consider taking IAAO 102 – Income Approach to Valuation and IAAO 112 – Income Approach to Valuation II for your income courses.
What electives is MAAO offering this year?
For your AMA elective you are required to take one 30-hour course OR two 15-hour courses (courses denoted above). You cannot use the same course to meet you elective requirement and another requirement (ie. Income Course) towards you AMA.
