| About the Minor |
|
|
| The Minor in Medieval Studies is an interdepartmental, interdisciplinary program designed to educate students in the extraordinarily rich culture of the European Middle Ages. Representing a major period of transition between Classical Antiquity and the Renaissance, the Middle Ages witnessed key developments in literature, history, art, architecture, music, philosophy, religion, and science—developments whose impact has continued to reverberate to the present day. Students opting for the Minor in Medieval Studies will have the opportunity to explore these varied topics from an interdisciplinary perspective by choosing |
 |
| courses from several different departments, but may maintain a disciplinary focus by selecting the majority of their courses from within one specific department. |
