Investigating the Middle Ages on the Heights

A minor in medieval studies complements many majors, including English, history, philosophy, religious studies and more.

The Medieval Studies Minor

This 15-credit interdisciplinary program requires English and history courses. However, it enables you to connect courses in several departments, allowing you to approach the medieval world from an interdisciplinary perspective. You take two English electives focusing on the medieval period in addition to one history or religious studies elective. Then, you take two additional courses in any discipline focusing on the Middle Ages or a Middle Ages course and another one focusing on an adjacent historical period.
