The University of North Carolina Greensboro (UNCG) provides an interdisciplinary approach to Historic Preservation by offering master's degrees and certificates through both the History and Interior Architecture Departments.

Students have the option of pursuing a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Historic Preservation or Museum Studies, a M.A. in History with a concentration in Historic Preservation or Museum Studies, or a M.S. in Interior Architecture with a concentration in Historic Preservation or Museum Studies. Collaboration between the History and Interior Architecture department provides students a unique opportunity to utilize the resources of both departments, offering students a multitude of education tools for professional growth.

One such opportunity is a preservation field school, which has been offered each summer since 2001. Students learn about and then spend time practicing historic building techniques, such as repointing brick, reglazing windows, and hewing logs. Every year the class also participates in the ongoing restoration of the historic privy at Körner's Folly in Kernersville.
