Notes:
Students, especially those considering graduate work Medieval Studies, are urged to take advantage of the Latin courses offered by Greek and Roman Studies. Since the study of ancient Greece and Rome provides an excellent background for Medieval Studies, and because medieval culture has analogues in non-European cultures, the following background and comparative courses are useful electives.
Topics courses in other departments must have Medieval content in order to be used as electives. Please ensure you check the topic before enrollment.
The Department of English has recently changed their courses (ENSH). Some courses are not eligible for credit if you have taken the same content as ENGL. Please check with Advising or the Medeival Studies office if you are unsure.
