About
The interdisciplinary minor in medieval studies presents a multidisciplinary focus on the world of the Middle Ages. The medieval world introduces us to the cultural roots of Europe and Islam in a preindustrial society and to the beginnings of Western European, Eastern European, and Middle Eastern languages and literatures.
Five courses (15 semester hour units) with at least one course from each of three categories are required for the minor. In addition to the five courses, a student is required to complete an appropriate project, such as a thesis, an oral presentation, or a performance, which integrates the knowledge and methodologies of the disciplines involved.
