The Faculty of Arts offers a Minor Field of specialization in Medieval, Renaissance and Reformation Studies. Students intending to pursue this Minor should consult with the Program Director for selection of the courses appropriate to the Minor and to their interest and background.

This Minor allows for the study of cultural phenomena in their social context and historical unfolding from late Antiquity to the Early Modern Era (e.g., literature, religion, philosophy, music, drama, and art). At the same time, it permits specialization in one specific phenomenon, era, culture or society. For example, specific courses may be combined to create a specialization in Renaissance Italy or Medieval Thought.

The Minor is intended to complement Major programs in related fields. It offers an integrated course of study, which enhances the learning experience and promotes a cross-cultural understanding of a formative age in European civilization. The Minor is desirable for students contemplating graduate level work in related fields.
