MSHP
The Master of Science in Historic Preservation is designed for students who will specialize in working with historic buildings, landscapes, and the decorative arts. The organizational structure of the degree program and the curriculum have been developed with the guidance of the National Council of Preservation Education (NCPE), the AIA, the ASLA, CSI, the regional professional community in preservation and design. Students are admitted into the program from a variety of undergraduate disciplines relating to the built environment.
The program is based in Charleston in collaboration with the College of Charleston and is administered through Clemson's Department of Planning and Landscape Architecture. The program uses Charleston and the historic environs of South Carolina as a living laboratory. The size of the program is restricted to ensure focused research with the faculty. Coursework emphasizes studios, labs, and field seminars incorporating Charleston's rich community of preservation specialists as well as distinguished visiting faculty and researchers in the Graduate Center in Historic Preservation.
