MA Cultural Heritage Studies

In our MA in Cultural Heritage Studies program, we’ll teach you how societies around the world select and preserve traditions, monuments, and important cultural artifacts—and how that affects public policy and advocacy. Depending on what you want to accomplish in your career, you’ll choose between two concentrations of study. The Cultural Heritage concentration focuses on giving you an in-depth knowledge of international cultural heritage and its role in politics and diplomacy. You’ll also learn about how and why we conserve historical sites—and the damaging impact of looting and destruction of these places. If you choose the Cultural Heritage Administration concentration, your coursework will dive more into public policy and advocacy.
