Roger Williams University Bristol , Rhode Island , United States 
Overview
Overview
The M.S. Preservation Practices program at Roger Williams University embraces the unique intersections of adaptive reuse, architectural history, collaborative revitalization, and planning.
Building on the country's oldest undergraduate historic preservation program, the Master of Science in Preservation Practices provides coursework on the history of the built environment paired with applied learning experiences to introduce students to the interdisciplinary, team-based work of historic preservation practice. The program is designed to prepare students for practice in areas of cultural resource management, community planning, and place-based revitalization and redevelopment.
The program emphasizes pragmatic, values-based planning through engagement with local municipalities, non-profits and the private sector on preservation planning and rehabilitation projects. Students participate in a series of field-based workshop courses and a required, paid internship. Internships are paid through the innovative Career Investment Program, one of the only programs of its kind in the United States.
Students complete the program with an intensive two-semester sequence of a planning workshop and collaborative studio focused on a major historic rehabilitation or revitalization project. Students may also opt to pursue a thesis under the advisement of SAAHP faculty.
