Program Overview

The Department of American Studies at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa (UHM) offers a graduate certificate program in historic preservation. A dynamic and evolving field, historic preservation focuses on the care and management of the built environment and the protection of other cultural resources. Now strongly tied to local, state and federal laws, historic preservation as both a field of inquiry and as a profession has matured considerably since the beginnings of interest in preserving aspects of history and culture first took root during the middle part of the 19th century. Through the certificate program in historic preservation, the department attempts to keep issues of cultural identity and the recognition of traditional cultural properties at the forefront of discussions and instruction.

For more information about the Department of American Studies, see MA in American studies.
