The Major Program
The Major in Medieval and Early Modern Studies
examines the intellectual, political, and cultural
forces that shaped modern European civilization during
the period from the end of Ancient Rome (fifth
century) to the beginning of the Enlightenment (mideighteenth
century). An interdisciplinary and interdepartmental
program, the major includes studies in
history, art, philosophy, literature, drama, music,
national languages, religion, rhetoric, and political
theory.
The Program. The major requires interdisciplinary
work, while allowing the student to focus on the
early Middle Ages, the High Middle Ages, the
Renaissance, or the Baroque. The series of Medieval
and Early Modern courses in the program provides
the foundation for the major and prepares students
for advanced work within the individual disciplines.
On the upper-division level, students may choose
course work in specific areas of History, Comparative
Literature, English, French, German, Italian,
Spanish, and Latin, philosophy and religion, arts
and language, and political thought. In addition,
each student may elect to complete a senior thesis on
a selected aspect of Medieval and/or Early Modern
culture.
Career Alternatives. The major in Medieval and
Early Modern Studies is a liberal arts degree providing
excellent preparation for the rigors of professional
schools as well as careers in law, museology,
journalism, and teaching.
