Undergraduate Minor
The Historic Preservation minor is available to all University of Oregon undergraduate students, but is not an option for graduate students. The minor program is administered by the Director of the Historic Preservation Program in the School of Architecture and Allied Arts. Early consultation with a faculty member on the Historic Preservation Committee is highly recommended. Students must give the Committee written notice of intent to seek the minor. A form for this purpose is available in the Historic Preservation Program office (251 E Lawrence Hall), and must be submitted one year prior to formal application for graduation. Course availability is subject to the instructor's consent and space available after obligations to departmental majors have been met. A mid-C or better must be earned in letter-graded courses, a P (pass) in Pass/No Pass courses. The minor is granted upon completion of the requirements.
The interdisciplinary minor in Historic Preservation requires a minimum of 27 credits as described below. Please be aware that some courses are only offered every other year. An asterisk (*) indicates that prerequisite and/or preauthorization is required to register for the course.

Undergraduate Minor: Advanced Graduate Standing Option
There is a one-year accelerated master's track for University of Oregon undergraduates who complete the HP minor, and who have taken the core HP curriculum and related course work (27 credits) in Historic Preservation.ᅠ
Theseᅠ classes must be taken for graduate credit; and the student must receive a grade of B or better in those courses.ᅠ Note, classes offered with the grade/pass-fail option must be taken for a grade. To obtain graduate credit, students must fill out a petition for graduate credit for each class.
