Medieval Studies Minor
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 HIST 3090 The Bright Ages, 1100-1300 or ENGL 3160 Introduction to Medieval Studies or MLLL 3750 Introduction of Medieval Studies. Students must complete 15 hours at the 3000 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., English, Spanish, German), with 15 hours in an area different from the student's major. The same course may not satisfy requirements for both the major and the minor.
