2010-2011 UF Graduate Catalog (PDF Format) - Graduate School ...

University of Florida Graduate School
organized in weekly modules which include audio power point presentations, video
lectures, assigned reading and on-line discussion forums. The material is designed to
be completed in self paced / flexible format. Each course utilizes an electronic
discussion board that provides an in depth interactive experience while at the same
time offering individual flexibility to the working professional student.
The final requirement for the Graduate level certificate is the supervised clinical
experience. Depending upon the individual professional background most students
are required to complete a supervised clinical experience under the supervision of a
professional practicing in the field of geriatric care management. If you are already
employed as a professional geriatric care manager you may be able (based on your
individual background) to waive this requirement. For further information, please

Historic Preservation
Historic preservation is the safeguarding of all cultural heritage: tangible and
intangible. The College of Design, Construction, and Planning offers an
interdisciplinary opportunity to study for the profession through multiple fields
including archeology, architecture, landscape architecture, urban and regional
planning, interior design, building construction, museum studies, law, and cultural
tourism. The master's degree course work is practical and technical in scope and
includes the study of history, research techniques, traditional crafts, materials
conservation, documentation, interpretation, cultural research management, housing,
urban rejuvenation and adaptive use of historic structures, restoration methodologies,
economics, green design and sustainable/livable communities.
The 21st century offers significant expansion of the field of heritage conservation to
address smart growth, sustainability, and economic development initiatives. Many
related jobs exist, including preservation consultant, preservation contractor,
preservation researcher, Main Street program director, site manager, lawyer,
archeologist, cultural resource manager, historian, real estate professional, and policy
administrator.
The College offers several nationally recognized field schools or practica: Preservation
Institute: Nantucket, Traditional Crafts Field School, and the National Historic
Landmarks District in Saint Augustine, America's oldest city.
The Interdisciplinary Concentration and Certificate in Historic Preservation
(ICCHP) integrates resources throughout UF to address the diverse topics relevant
to the field. Thus, the ICCHP establishes a set of courses that allow graduate
students to gain expertise in researching and applying historic preservation in the
United States and abroad. Depending on the student's career goals and background,
this can include recognizing, documenting, and protecting historic structures and
sites; rehabilitation and restoration technologies; and exploring emerging and related
specializations such as community development and sustainable development.
The interdisciplinary curriculum structure draws on course work providing 12 credits
for master's students and 15 credits for Ph.D. students specializing in historic
preservation. The concentration is officially recognized by statements on the
transcript and by a certificate.
