The Cultural Resource Management Program at the University of Victoria, British Columbia is pleased to announce its Fall 2009 distance education and on-campus immersion learning opportunities.

 

Our courses are geared toward professionals, volunteers and board members in museums, galleries, heritage sites, cultural centres and related organizations. Courses are designed to address the emerging needs of the sector and build your personal and organizational capacity.

In both on-campus and distance education formats, you interact with colleagues from across North America and beyond, participate in stimulating learning activities, and relate your learning to the practical issues and realities of your workplace and community. Courses are taught by instructors who are leading professionals in the field.

Courses can be taken individually or towards a comprehensive diploma or focused professional specialization certificate. Credit and non-credit registration options are available. Choose the programs and format best suited to meet your needs from the flexible options available.
