ICCHP

The graduate Interdisciplinary Concentration and Certificate in Historic Preservation (ICCHP) was created to integrate existing historic preservation resources across the College of Design, Construction and Planning and ultimately to do so across the campus in response to broadening interest in historic preservation. The ICCHP is offered to students seeking graduate degrees in DCP, Museum Studies, Anthropology and Tourism. Inclusion of other departments, schools, and colleges to students outside of DCP continues.

Description

The ICCHP allows Masters and Ph.D. students majoring in architecture, building construction, interior design, landscape architecture, urban and regional planning, museum studies, anthropology and tourism to learn about the basics of historic preservation. Within the concentration, students are exposed to the breadth of topics in preservation as well as the fundamental characteristics of the field. With these goals in mind, the students must meet the following requirements for the concentration and certificate.

Each master’s student must take at least 4 courses with a minimum of 12 credits of approved historic preservation or related courses while Ph.D. students are required to complete at least 5 approved historic preservation or related courses for 15 credits. In addition, the following requirements apply:

• All students must take Introduction to Historic Preservation (DCP 6710)
• All students must maintain a minimum grade of “B” in each course in order to complete the concentration

If the student does not complete the off-campus Preservation Institute: Nantucket (PI:N) summer program, which accounts for 9 credits over 3 courses, these additional requirements shall apply to qualify for the ICCHP:

• At least one course must be outside the student’s own college;
• Another course must be outside the student’s discipline (outside the student’s department or school)
• At least one course must be a 3-credit graduate history course – only one 3-credit history course can be applied to the ICCHP
• Students may include courses in their plan of study for the ICCHP that are not on the approved list provided the ICCHP Governing Board reviews and approves the proposed courses

Administration of the Interdisciplinary Concentration

Students must file a plan of study for the concentration at least two semesters prior to graduation. The plan of study must be approved by a designated advisor within a participating unit and the ICCPH Governing Board. In addition to relevant background information about the student, the plan of work shall include a list of all University of Florida courses that the student will complete for the concentration and when they are scheduled to be taken.The plan of work allows their progress to be tracked to ensure that the student completes all required components of the interdisciplinary concentration.

How to Apply

Students interested in pursuing the Interdisciplinary Concentration and Certificate in Historic Preservation (ICCHP) must submit the Application for Intent to Pursue, complete the required courses, and submit the Application for Completion. Both the intent to pursue and the completion application must be approved by the ICCPH Governing Board.

Each application must first be approved by the student’s advisor to the ICCHP. The advisors are as listed below depending upon the student’s discipline of study (school or department). The Application for Intent to Pursue must be submitted no later than at the beginning of the student’s third semester or the semester prior to graduation so that the student can consult with the advisor and review the course of study prior to undertaking the ICCHP. The Application for Completion of the ICCHP, indicating the project, thesis, or dissertation title, and the student’s transcript must be submitted upon completion of the requirements, at the end of the final semester. Provided the Governing Board approves the Application for Completion and upon processing at the Graduate School, the concentration will be listed on the student’s transcript. The student will also receive a certificate indicating completion of the ICCHP.
