Historic Preservation centers on the conservation, interpretation, and advocacy of historic sites, structures, and cultural landscapes. Studying historic preservation in the School of Architecture & Environment can help you build your knowledge of historic resources and grow your ability to understand the significance of cultural heritage and resource management within communities.
