    The University of Pennsylvania School of Design will offer a Master of Science in Design with a concentration in Historic Preservation beginning Fall 2018, increasing the roster of degrees offered by the School to 12. Developed to meet the needs of practicing design professionals seeking post-professional training, specialization, or a career change, the one-year MSD-HP complements the two-year Master of Science in Historic Preservation, which serves students entering preservation from an allied field (e.g., history, art history, and archaeology) and those with undergraduate training in design or planning but little professional experience.

    For more information on the program, go to https://www.design.upenn.edu/press/penndesign-introduces-new-post-professional-degree-historic-preservation?mc_cid=6c3cc4a8cc&mc_eid=9304520beb

    Candidates for the MSD-HP should have a professional degree in one of the recognized design fields (architecture, landscape architecture, interior architecture, urban planning, urban design, engineering) and some five years' experience in practice. To request a program prospectus, email the Graduate Program in Historic Preservation at pennhspv@design.upenn.edu.

    Applications are due January 14, 2018. For information, contact the Graduate Program in Historic Preservation at pennhspv@design.upenn.edu. To apply, contact the Office of Admissions.
