PhD Concentration in Medieval Studies

The Ph.D. Concentration in Medieval Studies offers advanced students an alternative means of acquiring bodies of knowledge presently isolated in separate disciplines. Rich in content, the course of study differs from the typical Ph.D. in Medieval English Literature in that it involves diverse departments (such as Art History, English, History, Foreign Languages and Literatures, Spanish, and Philosophy) and presents exciting and provocative points of intersection between the literatures and cultures of the Middle Ages and the present. The program's objective is to produce students with proficiency both in Old and Middle English language and literature.
