Certificate in Historic Preservation from Tulane’s School of Architecture and Built Environment is a valuable addition to a master degree in Architecture (M.Arch) or Sustainable Real Estate Development (MSRED). In addition to a studio track, best suited for M.Arch students, a non-studio track is available for graduate students in other fields such as history, anthropology, geography, and planning who wish to gain general knowledge, understanding, and ability in this specialized field.

The certificate program is also available as a standalone program for graduate level students not wishing to pursue any concurrent master or doctorate program. Working professionals enrolled only in the certificate program have the flexibility of completing courses at their own pace and even attending online.

General Notes

• The required courses and approved electives may be taken in any order, although it is highly recommended that the Introduction and, if applicable, Studio courses be the first ones taken.
• M.Arch students are encouraged to include a component of preservation in their ARCH 6990 Thesis Design Studio.
