The major in medieval studies requires 30 credits of
coursework, as follows:
1. The equivalency of four semesters of study of a language other than English, or one semester of Old English Language and Literature. Students can satisfy this requirement by demonstrating proficiency through test scores, coursework, or a combination of the two.
2. 6 credits in introductory courses on medieval civilization, chosen from 01:667:281 Medieval Civilization I; 01:667:282 Medieval Civilization II; 01:082:105 Introduction to Art History, Prehistory to 1400; 01:098:241 East Asian Civilizations: Premodern Era; 01:506:271 Jewish History I: Ancient and Medieval.
3. 3 credits in the seminar in medieval studies, currently
offered as 01:667:481 Senior Seminar in Medieval Studies, or equivalent course by permission. Many 400-level courses with a significant focus on the Middle Ages will also satisfy this requirement.
4. 18 credits in six elective courses chosen from approved
cognate courses on medieval Europe offered in affiliated departments. Of the
six elective courses, at least four must be at the 300 level or above. No more
than three elective courses may be from any one department.
