Undergraduate Minor: Advanced Graduate Standing Option
The Undergraduate bachelor's degree minor option in Historic Preservation was initiated in 1987.ᅠ As of 2004, 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.
If admitted as a master's candidate to HP, subsequent to the awarding of a bachelor's degree and a minor in HP, the master's candidate must complete an additional (46) graduate credits in Historic Preservation, instead of the traditional (73) credits required for the two year M.S. degree.

The Historic Preservation minor is available to all university 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.
