Students concentrating in medieval studies are expected to demonstrate competence in reading one language in which a significant body of medieval source material exists. Such competence is demonstrated primarily through the language courses and through the use of source materials in the B.A. paper. Latin is strongly urged for those working in Western materials, but other options, particularly for students interested in Byzantine, Jewish, or Muslim culture, are available. Students should consult the adviser regarding the three-course language requirement, which is to be used both for acquiring language skills, if necessary, beyond the Common Core requirement and for pursuing the reading of medieval texts.
The program also requires all concentrators to participate in a one-quarter reading and research course with a member of the committee who has agreed to advise them in planning and writing the B.A. paper. This paper is ordinarily read by at least two members of the committee representing different academic departments.
Students who wish to pursue medieval studies in conjunction with another program of study should choose their courses in consultation with the program coordinator.
