Cultural Resource Management Undergraduate Certificate

The Cultural Resource Management (CRM) certificate is designed for baccalaureate or post-baccalaureate students wishing to join cultural resources programs for Native American Tribes, federal, and state agencies and the private sector. CRM is the fundamental implementation of the preservation and heritage movement in North America and is a model for the rest of the world. Practitioners come from many fields including archaeology, cultural anthropology, museum curation, history, historical architecture, and historical landscape architecture. The PSU CRM certificate includes course work in archaeology; applied anthropology; geographic information systems; geology; natural and cultural resource policy and management; Tribal sovereignty, governance, and policy; and public outreach and education. Students chose from two tracks depending on their interests, career goals, and existing skills sets.

To be awarded the certificate, students must complete all the certificate requirements specified below for one of the two track options. Track A focuses on the community and policy dimensions of CRM work, while Track B focused on the technical skills needs to conduct CRM-related archaeological work.
