The certificate program offers a combination of courses originating in the Department of Art History, other FAS departments, Cook College, and the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. The program is open to undergraduate students in all units of the university, subject to limitations of space and course prerequisites. Students must submit an application to this program to the director, Tod Marder. A certificate in historic preservation will be awarded to all students who complete the program with an average grade of B or higher. The certificate will be conferred only with the awarding of a B.A. or B.S. degree in an established department or other degree-granting program in the university.
The requirements for a certificate in historic preservation include a total of five 3-credit courses. Two of these, taken in any sequence, are required core courses: Seminar in Cultural Heritage Preservation and History and Theories of Architectural Preservation. Elective courses can be selected from any of those listed below. Prerequisites to the courses must be met by those enrolled. The fifth of the five required courses is a supervised internship approved in advance in writing by the Department of Art History.
