Various ten-week courses and one day workshops are offered throughout the year and are designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to the field of historic preservation.

University’s campus.
Arrowheads to Architecture:
Archaeology’s Place in Historic Preservation in New Jersey
Forget Indiana Jones and King Tut: archaeology is all around you and you need to know about it if you are involved in historic preservation. Archaeological resources
are an integral part of New Jersey’s history, and add a whole new and exciting dimension to historic preservation. This course will explain what archaeology is, and why it is an important tool for managing, understanding and interpreting our past. On completion of the class, students will know why and how archaeological studies are undertaken as part of the historic preservation program in the state, and the challenges and opportunities archaeology presents to public agencies, private developers, and, above all, to those involved in preserving the past. No previous knowledge of archaeology is assumed.

WINTER ONE-DAY WORKSHOPS
Preservation Law: Navigating the Torts, Titles and Trials
Do you know where the legal speed bumps are that might slow or derail your next preservation project? Have you wished you were more comfortable and fluent in the legal language of preservation? Today’s preservationists need to understand the legal framework of historic preservation and how it has influenced—and continues to influence—how, when and why historic resources are preserved. This workshop is designed to give participants an overview of both federal and state statutes and cases that have set precedents in preservation. This workshop is conducted by legal and professional experts in environmental and cultural resource planning. No prior legal experience is necessary.
Instructors: Dorothy Guzzo and Guest Speakers; Date: Saturday, January 21; Time:
9 am - 4 pm; Cost: $115
Preservation in Practice: A Primer for Historic Preservation Commissions
In partnership with the American Planning Association – NJ Chapter and the NJ Historic Preservation Office, this one-day workshop is open to all preservationists, but specifically geared toward those serving on a local commission. This program is designed to benefit both new and experienced commission members as well as being relevant for planning and zoning board members and elected officials. The course provides an in-depth examination of current topics and issues relevant to integrating
preservation into community planning and zoning. Focus will be on legal parameters for implementing a commission, what to include in a good municipal preservation ordinance, conducting an effective public meeting, and developing good guidelines to support decision making. Currently seeking AICP Certificate Maintenance (CM) credits for licensed planners.
Instructors: Dorothy Guzzo and Guest Speakers;
Date: Saturday, March 3; Time: 9 am– 4 pm; Cost: $75
