Preservation Design, M.F.A.

Across the globe, preservation designers spearhead the adaptive reuse of historically significant buildings, repurposing them to meet contemporary and future needs while honoring their past to create a richer local fabric. As a preservation design student at SCAD, you will develop the skills and strategies to lead the transformation of these burgeoning communities via a studio-based and digital-focused curriculum that draws directly from the university’s international recognition as a model for preservation and design. At SCAD, an expansive set of majors and minors offer preservation design students the opportunity to widen their skillset or pursue diverging career paths. As a preservation design student, you can explore courses that compliment your studies in programs like urban design, architectural history, sustainability, interior design, museum studies, and more. Expand your understanding of the built environment and creative reuse of historic buildings further by pursuing a double major or minor.
