Art and Preservation Certificate in Historic Preservation Policy and Practice (Accelerated)

The Accelerated Certificate in Historic Preservation Policy and Practice is a fully online, flexible, one-semester program for professionals interested in learning the fundamentals of historic preservation policy and practice in the United States. Ideal for building professionals such as architects, urban planners, and real estate specialists as well as other design professionals who aspire to work in historic preservation, public history, tourism, design, and the management of the built environment, this program explores both the development of historic preservation as a field and the characteristics of contemporary practice. Historic preservation in the United States advanced substantially with the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act in 1966. At the same time, local landmarks commissions around the country continued to become a potent and growing force. Today, the preservation field continues to adapt and change, responding to the needs of the public and not-for-profit sectors as well as changing trends and interests.
