Master of Science in Historic Preservation

Pratt Institute

As a future heritage professional, you will gain the tools and experience urgently needed to identify, activate and conserve the places and objects that reflect our collective and inclusive future as much as our past through an interdisciplinary, critically informed, socially engaged and social justice driven approach. Pratt’s 47-credit, four-semester Master of Science program in Historic Preservation builds the skills preservationists need to leverage architectural and cultural assets in addressing the challenges communities face-such as gentrification and displacement, racial injustice, social inequality, and climate change. The scholars and practitioners that make up Pratt’s historic preservation faculty offer students a solid grounding in preservation theory, research methods, law and policy tools, architectural and urban history, and conservation practices. In their advanced coursework, students engage in real-time heritage conservation projects and innovative research, working directly with community stakeholders to identify, understand, and save the places they care about.
