PhD Program in Preservation Studies

The Preservation Studies Doctoral Program (PSP) at the University of Delaware is an interdisciplinary doctoral course of study that teaches the philosophies, research methodologies, and policies informing preservation efforts focused on art, architecture, landscapes, and material culture. The PSP may involve collaboration with faculty and physical resources in the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Agriculture, Engineering, Human Services, Education, and Public Policy, Marine Studies, and the Winterthur Museum (which is already a collaborative partner with the University of Delaware for two graduate programs related to this new Ph.D. program).

Applicants apply to a specific area of concentration within Preservation Studies, and acceptance will be contingent upon compatibility with existing University of Delaware resources. The PSP Director will designate a pre-admissions advisory committee who will work with the applicant to design a planned program of study. The Coremans Endowment is already in place for fellowship funding for one or two doctoral students in preservation studies each year within the College of Arts and Sciences.
