Undergraduate Minor

As an interdisciplinary course of study, Medieval Studies complements many majors well as it encourages more focused learning within fields such as history, English, foreign languages, religion, art, and music. Medieval Studies minors discover that “the Middle Ages” is a modern term for a vast time period comprised of various cultures, artistic trends, literature, languages, philosophies, and religious practices.

Requirements

The undergraduate minor in Medieval Studies consists of 18 semester hours of courses from the approved list. 

• Courses must be taken at least three different areas (e.g. Eng, Span, Germ)
• 15 hours must be in an area different than the student’s major. 
• Each student must take a 3-hour “gateway.”
  • To satisfy this requirement, they have two options: Hst 309 or Eng 316/Mlll 375.*
  • This course is required, but it is not a prerequisite for other medieval studies courses.
  • If a student has taken one gateway course, they can take the other gateway course, and it will count toward the remaining 15 hours.
