The University of Kentucky College of Design's online graduate certificate in historic preservation is designed for working professionals and others who are unable to take in-person courses. Like the on-campus certificate, it is designed to introduce core principles and concepts for the purpose of expanding the knowledge and abilities of persons working in related fields. Practicing architects, city planners, archaeologists, historians, design consultants, city managers, architectural review board members, and realtors have found it effective in building knowledge that compliments their existing training and experience.
