What is Heritage?

Property that descends to an heir, something transmitted or acquired from a predecessor; 

a legacy, inheritance, tradition, something passed on as a result of one's natural situation or birth.

 

With its interdisciplinary emphasis, the Heritage Studies Ph.D. Program (Doctor of Philosophy in Heritage Studies) uses multiple perspectives to explore the interrelationships of history, folklore, literature, geography, culture, and environment in a distinctive region, the Mississippi River Delta. 

The Heritage Studies doctoral degree is designed for individuals seeking senior positions in public institutions such as museums, libraries, and archives, historical societies and state parks, cultural tourist sites, community heritage programs, federal, state and local agencies; as well as private consulting firms and heritage-related businesses.

 
bulletEmployment opportunities include senior executive staff positions in cultural and historical agencies, parks and cultural tourists sites, historical societies, museums, archives, federal, state and local public and nonprofit agencies, and private consulting firms.  This degree is not primarily designed for college and university teaching, although students may be qualified to do so.

 

bulletThe program is approved by the Arkansas Department of Higher Education, and the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
