The Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies at the Harvard
University Art Museums offers a one-year graduate-level training program
in conservation. Although  the Museums cannot offer a masters' degree
because of Harvard arcana, the program is equivalent to that level and is
very well-respected in the field. The Straus Center (recently renamed to
honor a major benefactor) is the oldest conservation center in the
country and has offered training in conservation since the late 1920's.
