Fall Classes Include, Elements of Style in American Architecture & Decorative Arts and Preservation: Theory & Practice
The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa is offering classes in Historic Preservation as part of the American Studies Graduate Certificate Program in Historic Preservation. Whether you have an interest in pursuing a career in the field, want to enhance your professional skills or are keen to learn for learning’s sake, these classes may be a fit for you.
Historic preservation is a dynamic and evolving field, focusing on the care and management of the built environment and the protection of cultural heritage, in the widest sense. It is strongly tied to local, state and federal laws, historic preservation as both a field of inquiry and as a profession. Historic preservationists work in city, state and county agencies, for the federal government, in museums and non-profit organizations and in private consulting, planning, architecture and resource management firms.
Increasingly, preservationists are involved in education, both at the K-12 level and in colleges and universities. There are currently over two dozen institutions of higher learning in the U.S. offering degrees or other courses or training in historic preservation including the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.
