Medieval Studies Programs

Medieval culture, which flourished in Europe from about CE 300-1500, and has analogues in many non-European cultures, lends itself well to interdisciplinary study. This Program seeks to train students in the principles, methods, and problems of Medieval Studies and to introduce them to the written, visual, and material sources required for a thoughtful, critical study of the medieval world.

Medieval Studies offers Honours, Major, General and Minor programs leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Students may also undertake the Major in Medieval Studies together with a Major Program in another department (see Double Major), or with a Major in another faculty (see Interfaculty Program). By completing the requirements for the General Program together with a Major or Honours Program in another department or faculty, students may obtain a Minor (see Minor).

Students interested in pursuing a program in Medieval Studies should consult with the program Director.
