CEU welcomes students this month to its new two-year master’s program, Cultural Heritage Studies: Academic Research, Policy, Management, which was accredited by the State Education Department/The University of the State of New York in May 2014. The program aims to educate future heritage practitioners through developing aptitudes for critical assessment, the ability to reflect on major and minor, theoretical and practical, issues of managing or otherwise treating cultural heritage.
The creation and accreditation of the new program was spearheaded by the Department of Medieval Studies with the involvement of many faculty members from different units at CEU. It is organized, developed and administered by a program committee comprised of faculty members from different academic disciplines and units related to cultural heritage (historical studies, cultural anthropology and sociology, humanities, environmental studies and policy, public policy, business and management studies, etc). The new program also benefits from the built heritage of the CEU campus including listed and protected historical monuments in the townscape of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the historical center of Budapest.
