What makes SFU's professional program unique?

SFU’s Program is built on the idea that individual leaders can make real differences in assuring that the full spectrum of heritage resources are considered in project planning and implementation. We provide new avenues of understanding and inquiry concerning the complexity and potential of heritage resource management today. The Program’s courses and thesis requirement will broaden and professionalize each candidate’s knowledge of contemporary issues and dynamics in Heritage Resource Management while expanding their frame of reference to a global scale.

The Heritage Resource Management MA Program does not provide training in archaeology per se. Instead, the Program curriculum is designed to serve the needs and interests of existing professionals who hold Bachelor’s degrees, demonstrate research and writing capabilities, and a commitment to a career in heritage resource management.

The Program uses advanced distance learning technologies— SFU’s Canvas platform—to support exceptionally high quality learning environments. The SFU Centre for Educational Excellence is the Program partner for course development and delivery.
