Why study Medieval Studies at MC?

The minor in Medieval Studies gives students an opportunity to learn about the European Middle Ages from a variety of academic disciplines: literature, history, art, music, philosophy, and religion. It is most useful for those planning graduate study or teaching careers with a focus on the Middle Ages in any of these disciplines.

A multi-disciplinary minor in medieval studies is offered. The program emphasizes major currents of thought in the West from the collapse of the Roman Empire to approximately the year 1500.
