Preservation Joint Program with Clemson University
Jobs, Internships,
and Research Opportunities
The Program in Historic Preservation and Community
Planning approaches the subjects of Historic Preservation,
Architectural and Urban Design, Planning, and Architectural
and Urban History as a group of related disciplines that together
address the management of change in the built environment
from a design perspective. The program is grounded in the
visually oriented environment of the Department of Art History
and the School of the Arts, yet is still flexible enough to
allow students to bring in other courses and experiences through
its interdisciplinary curriculum. There are also a number
of changing special courses offered by adjunct faculty drawn
from experts in the preservation community in Charleston.
Recent offerings include: Autocad and Photoshop for Preservationists,
Building Pathology, Historic American Interiors, and The Classical
Tradition in Architecture.
The HPCP program offers a joint MS
degree in Historic Preservation with Clemson University.
The Caroline and Albert Simons, Jr. Center for Historic
Preservation is housed at 12 Bull Street, on the
western edge of the College of Charleston's campus, which
itself is located in the center of the historic district of
peninsular Charleston. The Cameron House was built c.1851.
The graceful antebellum mansion houses classrooms, design
studios, exhibit space and faculty and program offices for
the program of Historic Preservation and Community Planning.
