I applied to this program, but decided not to go. I have heard only good things about it and I know of one RWU student who went there. It is very focused on preservation planning, so if you like that sort of thing, this might be for you. James Glass is supposed to be a pretty good professor. |

The BU program is one of the older ones in America. I know Richard Candee does (did) a good job with this program - and the current professors are great. It is very closely aligned with the American Studies program and has a strong focus that way. The dual MA/JD program is one I would have liked to have tried.. I know a woman who went through it and loved it, but had a tough time with it. |

This is the grandfather of all HP programs in America. I dont know a great deal about it, but it is probably the best one out there. I know the students that came out of the program had nothing but great words for the program he ran. |

The program is focused on planning moreso than strict preservation. However, its a fantastic school and a great leader in Michael Tomlan. He helped start the Recent Past Preservation Network and a really nice person in general. The program has a basis in urban and rural planning basics, which I think is actually a strong part of what they are doing. |

I dont know much about either program, but I am sure Ypsilanti is neat. I believe they have a stronger end of things towards industrial archaeology. |

My friend Katherine went here. She enjoyed it quite a bit. She said she learned a lot about HP and the thesis program was difficult. They also have a MA/JD program like Boston University. I know they are well regarded in the HP circles. |

Goucher is a neat program because it is distance learning. You do most of the MA stuff online and by mail. Then in the summer you come to the school for three weeks and go on field trips, meet the other students, talk and discuss. I think thats a great way of doing things. When I make a million, I want to get a second masters from here. This is a generalist program. |

Great program, generalist in nature. Good program leaders. |

I attended this program and enjoyed it for its diversity of programs - archives, CRM, museums, and preservation. I would have to say that the work with the Gore Center and the relationship with the Center for Historic Preservation make this program stand out. MTSU is the only school I know of with a Historic Preservation PHD (although its couched in a "History" program.) Tennessee is a neat place anyway - but dont expect loads of "hands on" type of learning. Its more history and generalist focused. |

SCAD was neat to visit. The buildings are great and the work the students were doing seemed very interesting. I dont know a great deal about it. I know the school went through some turmoil a while back, but I dont know where it stands now. It seemed like a very artsy/architecture related program. |

I have heard a few good things about this program from at least one student who is enjoying her time there. Seems to be be a good place. |

Again, not much from me. I know Tulane is a good school. I think I met the director, and she was saying that it was going to be a planning focus (which I think thats what the MPS means). |

From an email (sorry I have lost your name...) The University
of Pennsylvania along with Columbia University are unique among preservation
programs in that they offer a strong emphasis in architectural conservation.
(The University of Texas at Austin is developing a similar program.)
There is a consistent focus on material science, laboratory experience,
and theory. To this end, Penn has a very good architectural conservation
lab and access to analytical equipment and expertise from the Laboratory
for the Research on the Structure of Matter in Penn's engineering
department. |

UVM's program is one of the better ones out there. Thomas Visser is a neat guy. I know they are very focused on technology and HP. I applied and was accepted here, but did not go. It is supposed to be a very generalist program and I was looking for a more specialized program. |
