The Advanced Graduate Certificate in Historic Preservation program welcomes interested students with educational and professional backgrounds in fields as diverse as architecture, planning, law, archaeology, history, journalism, art history and urban studies. The University of Vermont Historic Preservation Program regards historic preservation as means to acknowledge, conserve and sustain a diverse range of heritage resources that have the potential to inform and to serve current and future generations.
Preservation design is an extraordinary field that combines history, planning and conservation with business, entrepreneurship and design innovation to elevate the built environment. SCAD empowers students to be leaders in this rapidly evolving profession. Within a studio-based curriculum, students push boundaries of interdisciplinary collaboration, crafting artful solutions that upcycle the community and the built environment. Pursue your passion at a school that has been at the vanguard of preservation for more than three decades.
