文化及历史保存

The Noreen Stonor Drexel 文化及历史保存 Program prepares students for careers that explore and protect the places, 创造我们历史的物品和故事. As one of only nine undergraduate programs recognized by the National Council for Preservation Education, 亚洲博彩平台排名 University's curriculum provides a diverse foundation in the field's major disciplines, 包括建筑史, 考古, 博物馆研究和城市规划.

边做边学

亚洲博彩平台排名's program emphasizes the cultural relationships between people, objects and buildings and teaches students to preserve the stories that give those material things meaning. Our unique curriculum provides students with a strong foundation in 建筑历史, 考古及文物保护规划. We also offer a streamlined double major with art history for those students planning for a career in the museum field.

Because we believe that experience is the best teacher, our students learn preservation by doing preservation, and we take full advantage of the world-class architecture and living laboratory that surrounds us. We employ the buildings and objects on our campus and in the city of Newport to help students develop valuable skill sets.

通过课程学习和必要的实习, students photograph and create measured drawings of historic architecture, 进行档案研究, participate in archaeological excavation and collaborate on the development of museum exhibits. We also train our students in cutting-edge preservation technology, 包括地理信息系统(GIS), 摄影测量, 三维数字建模, aerial drone photography and archaeological geophysics (ground-penetrating radar, 磁梯度法和土壤电阻率法.

项目重点:技能组合的多样性

 One of the things that sets our cultural and historic preservation program apart from others across the country is the diversity of skill sets. Our students work with the latest technology in 考古 and historic architecture. 这让他们更有竞争力, 我知道学生什么时候离开这里, I can recommend them to some of the best cultural resource management firms in the nation with confidence.

认识我们的教师

没有药膏的生活

Our students are uniquely positioned with the knowledge and experience they need for successful careers. 结果是, we have an established record of placing our graduates in the nation’s leading preservation agencies, 公司和组织.

  • 地方和州政府: An ever-increasing number of municipalities employ preservation planners, and every state has a historic preservation office. 
  • 联邦政府: A broad range of preservation work is available through the National Park Service.
  • 民营文化资源管理公司: These firms do contract work for clients ranging from private landowners to state governments, and also perform architecture documentation and evaluation. 
  • Private preservation organizations that maintain historic sites: There are hundreds - if not thousands - of local preservation organizations scattered across the country.
  • 保存承包公司: Hands-on preservation work is a well-defined niche in the building industry, and there is a critical shortage of trained and skilled artisans in the historic building trades. 

 I am grateful to the cultural and historic preservation program for turning my fledgling interest in history into a career in historic preservation. 这个项目让我周围都是人, places and experiences that fostered a passion for the field as well as a sense of academic rigor and community engagement that I apply every day on the job.
