Historic Preservation Studies
Historic preservation, interdisciplinary by nature, is taught at the University of Florida using a university-wide curriculum approach. In addition to the historical preservation master’s degree, students can pursue historic preservation studies through a concentration and certificate while completing professional programs in the college or other participating degree programs throughout the university. Advanced graduate study in preservation can be pursued through the college’s Ph.D. program. Off-campus programs provide UF students with unique opportunities for study and research across the U.S. and overseas, while funded research projects provide real world experience and graduate research assistantships.
