Option 1
Option 1 (30 credit hours) is a one-year program for students who already have professional experience (e.g., minimum of two years of professional practice) or who have achieved a minimum of 3.0 GPA in previous academic experience (e.g., Ball State undergraduate historic preservation minor; historic preservation major from another accredited college or university) and meet the curricular requirements of a minimum of 18 hours, or the equivalent, of the two-year masters program. The director of the graduate program in historic preservation will qualify applicants and prepare a customized plan of study based on previous experience.
