USC’s Master of Heritage Conservation (MHC) Program prepares students to strengthen communities using existing places and the stories they tell. Offering the only master’s degree of its kind on the West Coast, the MHC program uses Los Angeles as a laboratory to explore cultural and intangible heritage, the impact of underrecognized communities on the built environment (and vice versa), and modernism and the recent past. We offer dual degrees in Urban Planning, Landscape Architecture + Urbanism, and Building Science. 

Join us online November 14 to learn about the MHC curriculum and dual degree programs; our close community of students, faculty, and alumni; and how to apply.
