The Program in Medieval Studies seeks to encourage interdisciplinary study of medieval period Europe and adjacent Mediterranean cultures (c. 500-1500): its art, literature (Latin and vernacular), music, religion, philosophy, science, politics, and economic and social structures. 

Interested students should apply for graduate study through an individual affiliated department, not through the program.

COURSES:

The program encourages graduate students to undertake interdisciplinary study of the Middle Ages by circulating lists of relevant courses offered by the affiliated departments each semester. Students interested in interdisciplinary medieval study may also consult directly with the director of the program, or members of the program’s executive committee, in addition to their regular consultations with their departmental adviser.ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

The program sponsors a lecture series and organizes special events such as short-term visits by eminent medievalists as well as co-sponsoring one or two conferences a year.  It also supports a medieval Latin reading group, book clubs, an annual conference arranged by graduate students, a sponsored session at the International Medieval Congress in Kalamazoo, and participation in the annual Inter-University Doctoral Consortium (IUDC) medieval colloquium in New York.
