Imagine a cityscape that reflects a rich architectural past within a smart, sustainable future. Now, imagine you guided that effort—a balance of historic preservation and best practices.
Our master of science in historic preservation (MSHP) fuses your passion for the past with innovative approaches.
Expert faculty guide you through hands-on, meaningful course work and projects that engage a wide variety of concerns. You’ll learn about community engagement, economic development, and urban policy that’s culturally and ecologically responsible. Our roots are in history and architecture, but when it comes to preserving the past, we also look toward tomorrow’s cities, small towns, and rural landscapes. Additionally, we consider questions of law, economics, landscape architecture, urban planning, and more.
