The undergraduate minor in Medieval and Renaissance Studies is an attractive opportunity for students who wish to gain further understanding of medieval and Renaissance culture beyond the traditional disciplinary parameters. Fascinating in their diversity, medieval and Renaissance arts, literature, history, science, and philosophy offer rich material for study in their own right and also reveal the foundations upon which the achievements of subsequent periods were built.
The minor consists of 18 hours, including nine at the upper-division level. Six hours must be completed in each of the three core areas from courses listed below (excluding courses in the major department). No more than three of the 18 hours may be independent study. MRS courses may substitute in any area where appropriate and as approved by the MRS advisor. No major in Medieval and Renaissance Studies is offered; students wishing to concentrate on these areas of study are best served by majoring in another humanities discipline while pursuing a Medieval and Renaissance Studies minor.
