Historic Preservation

The Master of Historic Preservation (MHP) program addresses heritage at different scales (cultural landscapes, neighborhoods, architecture, interiors, building and material technologies) and presents a range of issues impacting the preservation of historic places including economic, legal, and sustainable practices. Both the tangible (physical) and intangible (cultural) realms of heritage are explored through interdisciplinary thinking in both theoretical and applied practice.

Interior Design

Interior Design is concerned with the design of spaces within buildings. It is a human-centered discipline where the needs of the users and their institutions, together with the vision of the designer generate appropriate design solutions. It encompasses a wide range of project types in office, educational, retail, healthcare, and residential settings, among others.
