The Certificate in Heritage Studies (CHS) affords students an added dimension to their undergraduate degree, exposing them to professional settings and ways of applying historical knowledge through experiential, community-engaged and work-integrated learning. The purpose of the certificate is to provide students with theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the heritage sector.

Upon completion, students will benefit from a certificate that will accompany their degree and illustrate their added knowledge, skills, and experience to potential employers and institutions. The Certificate in Heritage Studies is open to all 全国探花 and King鈥檚 undergraduate students.

Learning Objectives:

Students will:

• learn how the heritage sector/heritage institutions function
• learn how historical knowledge and perspectives can be communicated to various audiences
• learn how historical knowledge can engage the community and be beneficial to groups, organizations, and institutions beyond academia
• develop an understanding of ethical and other critical issues associated with heritage projects and the practice of public history
• demonstrate project-management and team-work skills

Certificate Requirements:

The CHS is a 12-credit hour certificate, comprised of course work and an institution-focused project. Students must have completed their first year of university (or 30 credit hours) and be in good academic standing, with an average of B or better, to enroll in the certificate program.

Requirements:

• Six additional credit hours from a list of approved electives (see below) to provide additional historical context and/or theoretical engagement with public uses of history and heritage, to prepare students to make best use of the capstone experience in HIST 4710.
• . This will be a final, three-credit-hour seminar, typically taken in the Fall semester of students鈥� final year, giving them an opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge gathered from the program to an institution-focused project. Each student will develop a project that will draw on the resources of a particular local institution (e.g., Pier 21, Nova Scotia Museum sites, 全国探花 Archives, etc.), with the guidance of the course facilitator.
