Overview

Art Conservation from Buffalo State SUNY provides students with a broad background in conservation treatment, imaging, and science in their first year. In the second year, students continue taking imaging and science courses and specialize in objects, paintings, or paper conservation (and its subspecialties, book and photograph conservation).

Key Facts

This competitive three-year graduate program educates conservators of art and cultural heritage.
