Program Overview

Historic Preservation, Certificate (Graduate)

Overview

The Certificate in Historic Preservation from Tulane’s School of Architecture and Built Environment is a valuable addition to a master degree in Architecture (M.Arch) or Sustainable Real Estate Development (MSRED). In addition to a studio track, best suited for M.Arch students, a non-studio track is available for graduate students in other fields such as history, anthropology, geography, and planning who wish to gain general knowledge, understanding, and ability in this specialized field.

Requirements

The certificate program is also available as a standalone program for graduate level students not wishing to pursue any concurrent master or doctorate program. Working professionals enrolled only in the certificate program have the flexibility of completing courses at their own pace and even attending online.
