The medieval and Renaissance studies minor brings together a dynamic set of courses across several departments, allowing students to explore how the legacies of medieval and Renaissance arts, history, literature and theater, as well as philosophical, theological and political thought, have helped shape our modern world.

The curriculum encourages students to think more broadly, historically and creatively about topics learned in their majors. While open to all students, the minor will appeal especially to those majoring in art, art history, English, government, history, modern and classical languages and literatures, music, philosophy, and theater.

Requirements

A minimum of five courses (15 credits) is required to complete the minor in medieval and Renaissance studies, as shown below. Students should consult the program director for advising and course selection.

1. IDST 240 Medieval and Renaissance Perspectives
2. Five electives from the approved list

   Elective coursework must draw from at least three different disciplines; at least three of these courses should be at the 300-400 level. Certain independent study, special topics courses and study abroad courses may count toward the minor at the director's discretion.
