MS Historic Preservation
The Master of Science in Historic Preservation (MS HP) in the Dana Crawford Preservation Program is a 45 semester- hour program, usually completed in 15 or 18 months (three regular semesters and possibly part or all of one summer). The curriculum equips you to participate in the preservation of historic buildings and sites. It also presents opportunities for you to study large-scale landscape conservation, the preservation of cultural heritage and underrepresented communities, the impact of gentrification in cities and how preservation can be tied in with affordable housing. As our global climate changes, environmental sustainability and historic preservation are even more closely linked.
Graduates will be prepared to become the new leaders of the cultural heritage movement. The course of study is very broad to provide students skill in the political, economic, and legal aspects of historic preservation.
Throughout your time in the program, you will have the opportunity to carve a unique path and personalize your degree through independent study
