Medieval and Renaissance Studies is an interdisciplinary program in which a student combines a concentration in medieval or Renaissance civilization with a major or concentration in one of the following departments: Art History and Archaeology, Classics, English and Comparative Literature, French and Romance Philology, Germanic Languages, History, Italian, Music, Philosophy, Religion, or Latin American and Iberian Cultures.

Undergraduate Requirements

For a Special Concentration in Medieval and Renaissance Studies

In addition to fulfilling the requirements for a departmental major or concentration, a student should plan on an additional 12 points of courses in other departments of the program, to be chosen in consultation with an appropriate member of the committee. A reading knowledge of two languages is also required: normally they are Latin (as demonstrated by the completion of LATN W1201 or W1202 ) and the completion of the fourth term of one Romance or Germanic language. Language courses do not count toward the 12 points required for the concentration.

MEDR BC3998x-BC3999y Directed Research for the Senior Project 4 pts. Two semesters of supervised interdisciplinary research in Medieval or Renaissance Studies terminating in the writing of a senior essay. The program of research is determined in consultation with the chair and under the guidance of the area adviser. It is supervised by the latter and an adviser from the second discipline involved in the project.
