In PSU's Heritage Studies degree program, students explore the interrelationship of history, literature, geography, culture, and the environment. Using the methods of historians, geographers, archaeologists, anthropologists, architects, sociologists, folklorists and other social scientists, heritage studies students explore the many layers of the past that help create the present. Successful graduates obtain careers in public, private, and museum education; archaeology; and historical research. Designed for maximum flexibility, Heritage Studies focuses on meeting the graduate student’s professional and personal interests.
