Historic Preservation

Housed within Pratt’s Graduate Center for Planning and the Environment (GCPE), the 47-credit Historic Preservation (HP) graduate program provides students with a solid foundation in research, preservation planning, architectural conservation, policy, and law, giving them the tools and experience they need to save the places people care about.

Our approach is multi-disciplinary, place-based, equity-oriented, and intellectually challenging. Our location in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn immerses students in New York City’s rich history, and provides the opportunity to work directly with local partners to uplift community stories and utilize preservation tools for social empowerment.
