Curriculum Description
This field offers an interdisciplinary approach to a distinctive period in European history. Courses may be drawn from the Liberal Studies degree curriculum; but many other courses are available from various departments in the University that are relevant to the study of Medieval and Early Modern European Studies. A careful selection of courses in this field will assist the student to understand the art, philosophy, government, history, theology, and literature of the period from roughly 1200 to 1600 AD and to explore how these interacted to create the culture of the Medieval Period. This field is open to graduate students only.
