Certificate in Historic Preservation
Working with historic buildings and neighborhoods, related legislation, and adaptive reuse of historic structures are essential parts of the professional practice of architects, planners, and art historians. Their work often requires the repurposing and reuse of the existing building stock, which is a critical part of sustainable development. As well, the documentation, preservation, and interpretation of history as represented through historic buildings and landscapes is a vital aspect of any community’s civic pride. The Graduate Certificate of Historic Preservation is designed to provide students with the essential professional knowledge and skills in taking care of historic buildings and historic townscapes.
This Certificate program is also open to students in American Studies, Anthropology, Art History, Geography, Museum Studies, World Regional Study Programs, Urban Planning, and the Global Awareness Certificate Program. The Certificate is available as a Continuing Professional Education (CPE) opportunity for outside professionals as well.
