Historic Preservation
Pending SACSCOC approval, this program will no longer be offered jointly with Clemson University effective Fall 2022. Interested students should contact Clemson directly.
(60 Credit Hours)
Historic preservation candidates participate in many hands-on preservation and conservation projects that complement a curriculum rich in history, theory and materials courses. They learn from architects, architectural historians, conservation specialists and other practitioners in the field of historic preservation. Individual studio spaces equipped with a program computer and the necessary software are provided for all students.
The curriculum is structured in sequential layers. At the end of the first two semesters, you’ll complete a summer internship related to your thesis topic. The second-year curriculum follows a professional track that culminates with a required thesis.
Coursework for this program, administered jointly with Clemson University, is offered entirely in Charleston.
