Minor - Medieval Studies

Minor - Medieval Studies

Description

The minor in medieval studies is an interdisciplinary course of study that covers the period from 476 to 1517. Students will be encouraged to take courses from a wide range of disciplines, which makes this minor well-suited to many majors. They will come to understand that "the Middle Ages" in fact includes a wide variety of cultures, artistic trends, literatures, languages, philosophies, and religious practices. In developing a deeper appreciation for the past, students will come to a better understanding of the foundation of our fast-paced, ever- changing present-day world.

Course Requirements

The Minor in Medieval Studies consists of 18 semester hours, including His 354 or Engl 375 or Mlll 375. Students must complete 15 hours at the 300-level or above from the approved list of courses below. The 18 semester hours must be taken in at least three different areas (e.g. Engl, Span, Germ), with 15 hours in an area different than the student's major. The same course may not satisfy requirements for both the major and the minor.
