Required Courses

As the graduate and undergradute programs for medieval studies diverge quite noticeably, the requirements will be listed by the program level.

Undergraduate Courses

History 4A-B is the required introduction to the major, and students are strongly encouraged to gain a reading knowledge of Latin and one modern European language. Depending on the student's interest in graduate work and his/her field, knowledge of Hebrew, Arabic, or Greek may be needed.

Forty units of approved courses from a number of different departments are required to fulfill the medieval studies major. These units will have to be shaped into a "coherent program" with the help of an advisor. Please see the undergraduate page for details.

Graduate Courses

Twenty-two units of required courses are required to earn the Graduate Emphasis in Medieval Studies. They are as follows:

  • Medieval Latin (Latin 103, 4 units)
  • One four-unit course in a vernacular, western European or middle eastern medieval language (English 205A, English 205B, English 205C, English 230, French 206, French 207, Spanish 222A, Spanish 222B, Portuguese 222, Religious Studies148A, Religious Studies 148B, Religious Studies 148C, Religious Studies 210).
  • One of the following four-unit courses: Medieval Paleography; and/or Diplomatics; or History 215S, 215T [these have been offered in the past, but are not currently offered by the History Department]. You may also substitute the appropriate equivalent from another institution.
  • Medieval Studies 200A-B-C. This is a year long, 2-unit course; students must enroll for all three quarters consecutively. You may also enroll in the course more than once.
  • Eight additional units in graduate courses on medieval topics.
