Requirements for a Minor

Students may complete a minor in Medieval Studies by taking at least 18 credits in medieval courses approved by the program director. At least three of the courses (9 credits) for the minor must be at the 3000 level or above. Coursework must reflect a multidisciplinary approach to Medieval Studies. Student coursework must thus include representation of at least three of the thirteen departments of the College of Arts & Sciences that offer MSP-approved coursework.

These departments are:

  • Anthropology
  • Art
  • Classics
  • English
  • East Asian Language, Literatures and Cultures
  • French Language and Literature
  • German Language and Literature
  • History
  • Middle Eastern and South Asian Languages and Cultures
  • Philosophy
  • Politics
  • Religious Studies

Courses on medieval topics from departments not listed can count as a substitute with the director’s approval (e.g. Philosophy, Politics).
