Medieval Studies Concentration
The concentration consists of Medieval Studies 201 and 403 and 21 hours of upper-division courses concerned primarily with the medieval experience, divided among the following three categories.
- Category 1 - History, Philosophy and Political Science: History 312, 313, 330, 334, 369, 474, Philosophy 322, Political Science 475.
- Category 2 - Language and Literature: Classics 435, English 371, 401, 402, French 410, Italian 401, 402
- Category 3 - The Arts: Architecture 415, Art History 425, 431, 441, 451, Musicology 210
Courses should either form a related pattern (for example, courses in the literature and history of medieval England or Italy) or should revolve around a particular discipline or two closely related disciplines (for example, courses in the history of art and architecture).
Latin is the most appropriate language for students in the Medieval Studies concentration and is essential for those who plan to continue their studies in graduate school. In addition, students planning to go on to graduate school are strongly advised to supplement their Medieval Studies concentration with extensive work in one of the traditional disciplines.
Medieval Studies Minor
A Medieval Studies minor consists of Medieval Studies 201 and 403 and twelve additional hours distributed among the categories listed above for the major concentration. Each student's program, major or minor, must be approved in advance by the Chair of Medieval Studies, Dr. Michael Kulikowski.
