The Architectural Conservation Laboratory has cooperative agreements with many private and public agencies and educational institutions in the United States and abroad which provide opportunities for independent study, thesis work, and sponsored research for students from Penn and guest institutions. Selected projects also provide funded opportunities for post-graduate students pursuing the Advanced Certificate in Architectural Conservation. The European and American Conservation summer programs co-sponsored with external partners such as the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property in Rome (ICCROM) and the National Park Service respectively offer students a unique opportunity in domestic and international training and field experience.
