Foreign Language Requirement: Master's Examination: The examination is a four-hour, closed-book test covering a 50-item list of multidisciplinary medieval works that is given to students when they enter the Master's program. If students do not take the MA examination on schedule (typically, in the Spring or Fall semesters two years after entrance), they will be responsible for the 50-item list in effect at the time of their examination, which may include changes. An item on the list may be a work (or groups of works) of literature (e. g., epic, hagiographic, lyrics), history (e.g., chronicles, histories, legal documents), art history, or philosophy. Items are distributed chronologically between the early and high Middle Ages, that is from 500 A.D. to 1400 A.D. The Medieval Studies Graduate Committee will review the 50-Item List every two years and make any needed changes. Portfolio |
