| NOVA's certificate program
in historic preservation is designed to meet the needs of those seeking to develop or
refine research, analytical, and field skills in historic preservation, archaeology, and
museum studies. Ours is the only such
program, at either the graduate or undergraduate level, in Northern Virginia, and is
offered exclusively at NOVA's Loudoun Campus. The eight-course curriculum was designed by
nationally-known preservation professionals and prominent local government and community
leaders, inspired by our locality's abundance of historic structures, archaeological
sites, and battlefields and by the need for preservation professionals in both the public
and private sector working as field archaeology assistants, site managers, museum staff,
preservation consultants, and exterior/interior renovators. |
