USC's Master of Heritage Conservation (MHC) is the only master's program of its kind on the West Coast and prepares students to strengthen communities using existing places and the stories they tell. The program emphasizes the connection between cultural and intangible heritage; the natural and built environment; and the impact of underrecognized communities. Coursework covers materials conservation, policy and planning, conservation theory, global conservation efforts, architectural and landscape history, best practices in resource documentation and evaluation, sustainability, and historic site management. Students may pursue stand-alone or dual degrees with Urban Planning, Building Science, or Landscape Architecture + Urbanism. The MHC is embedded in a multidisciplinary architectural environment with faculty who are leaders in the field. Research and practical projects are integrated, with Los Angeles as the program's urban laboratory. 来源： https://catalogue.usc.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=8&poid=7242 https://catalogue.usc.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=21&poid=30619&returnto=8930&print
