HERITAGE PRESERVATION
The Heritage Preservation Program offers students the opportunity to learn about environmental
and cultural resources. Furthermore, students apply the information gained from the program
in a variety of fields, including heritage administration, museum administration,
archaeological survey and fieldwork, and interpretive services. The program emphasizes the
management of cultural resources to maintain them for future generations and also to provide
the ability to market those resources to a potential tourism industry.
