The certificate might be combined with focussed study in a number of areas, Art and Art History, Classics, Comparative Literature, English, French and Italian, German, History, Literature Science and the Arts, Music, Philosophy, Religion, Spanish and Portuguese, Theatre Arts, and Women's Studies, or may represent an elective interest. The Certificate in Medieval Studies may be earned by any undergraduate student. Students must earn a minimum of 24 semester hours of credit in medieval studies course work from at least three departments and must demonstrate facility in a medieval language. This introductory course should be taken early in a student's plan of study.
Course work in a medieval language, as described below.
Further elective courses may be necessary to make up the 24 s.h. minimum requirement for the certificate, depending on the number of semester hours used to satisfy the language requirement. These may be chosen from any of the courses approved for the certificate. Back to the Top Language Requirement Students are required to complete at least one course or course sequence in a medieval language as listed below. Those anticipating continuing with graduate study in the Middle Ages are strongly encouraged to take the Latin sequence, which would serve as a good foundation of study for any certificate student. Course work in an alternative medieval language may be substituted with the approval of the Certificate in Medieval Studies Coordinating Committee.
