The Anatolian Civilizations and Cultural Heritage Management program is an
interdisciplinary, two-year masters program whose primary goal is to provide
an in-depth education in the history of art and architecture, archaeology,
and cultural history of the lands that comprise present day Turkey. The
program also introduces students to both the theoretical and practical
aspects of museum operations and the management of cultural heritage
resources. Experts in various areas of cultural heritage management and
museum studies are invited as guest lecturers in the courses to expose
students to a range of issues and approaches. Training in one or more of the
languages of the Anatolian past is also provided.

 
The ACHM program provides students with opportunities for travel and on-site
study of several archaeological and cultural heritage sites within Istanbul
and throughout Turkey. A summer internship provides hands-on experience and
students have the opportunity to work as interns in a museum or cultural
heritage project or conduct fieldwork at selected archaeological sites under
the supervision of an ACHM professor. The program allows students to
specialize their academic training as pre-doctoral candidates in the fields
of archaeology, art and architectural history, or to prepare for careers in
museums, cultural heritage institutions, tourism and the art world.
 
The language of instruction is English and the students in our program come
from many different countries of origin. Non-native English speakers are
required to demonstrate English competence through the TOEFL exam.
 
Fellowships are granted to students accepted into the program. The
fellowship covers tuition and a stipend for living expenses for the two
years of the program.
