Program Curriculum
Course Structure
- Our program focuses on both the theory and the practice of preservation, with a dual emphasis on the technical aspects of preserving historic resources and the cultural qualities of what we choose to protect. Students investigate the specific forms, materials, construction, and use of historic resources while also considering the cultural context in which these resources originally developed and continue to exist today.
- A set of core courses provide basic skills and knowledge, including research methods, preservation history and theory, architectural history, and the economic, legal, and administrative processes of preservation. Masters students choose to concentrate in one of three focal areas: 1) sustainable preservation theory, design, and technology 2) cultural resource management; or 3) resource identification and evaluation.
