The master
of arts (M.A.) track in cultural heritage and preservation studies within the graduate
program in art history is a two-year, 30-credit
program that combines coursework with supervised internships. It emphasizes the
development of a broad understanding of cultural heritage theory and practice
along with development of professional skills. Requirements include a master's
thesis and 6 credits of internship/fieldwork related to the student's focus.
A
dual-degree program is also offered jointly by Cultural Heritage and
Preservation Studies (CHAPS) and Rutgers School of Law-Newark. A four-year
course of study, this program leads to the M.A. in art history with a specialty
in cultural heritage preservation and to the juris doctor (M.A./J.D.). The law
school will accept 9 credits from the M.A. program and CHAPS will accept 12
credits from the law school. Students are accepted independently for both
graduate professional programs after separate application to each. The Law
School Admission Test (LSAT) will be accepted in place of the Graduate Record
Exam (GRE).
