Admissions & Application Form

The Graduate Certificate in Historic Preservation program is open to all graduate students at the University of Washington. The CBE Certificate in Historic Preservation is open to BLA students. Those applicants should complete and submit the form below.

Potential students who are not UW graduate students will need to apply to the University of Washington Graduate School. The only prerequisite for that admission is a bachelor’s degree.

Students should apply and be admitted before taking the core courses if they would like to receive the certificate. However, if they have already taken relevant courses and later decide to pursue the certificate, they may still apply.

The program also welcomes students who do not wish to pursue the certificate, but who want to take preservation courses and/or have a general interest in the field. Anyone interested in preservation is welcome on the program’s email list to hear about preservation courses, events, and opportunities. Contact histpres@uw.edu to request addition to the email list.

Completing and submitting this form will admit you to the program. If you later decide not to complete the program or change from one certificate to the other, you will need to inform the program office as soon as possible.
