The advanced certificate in Historic Preservation focuses on the historic built environment in an urban context, and gives students the tools necessary to understand how to preserve it. Historic preservation is fundamental to the work of architects and urban planners as communities around the globe increasingly look to conserve and creatively reuse their historic resources, which can be architectural, urban, cultural, and archaeological. This specialization and certificate engages the material fabric of our rich cultural past, by involving students in the knowledge of our urban and architectural histories, the craft and technical methods of preservation and sustainable design, and the development of supportive policy and planning tools.
