Graduates of Salve Regina’s cultural and historic preservation program have developed
skills in designing and completing original
research, evaluating historical architecture and material culture, and using
both lines of evidence to write compelling narratives about what happened in
the past (and why the past matters).
In the Workforce

Graduates working in cultural resource management are documenting historic structures, writing National
