Medieval studies, an interdisciplinary undergraduate program, integrates various approaches to the Middle Ages by medievalists in diverse departments. Medieval studies provides an excellent general education or a solid base for graduate work in a more specialized area. Study abroad is strongly encouraged.

Medieval studies concentrates on the period from 300 to 1500, combining courses in art and architecture, history, language, literature, music, philosophy, and religion. A course of study might include literature from medieval England, Iceland, China, and Japan; Gothic art and architecture; Vikings and Crusades; religion, such as early Christianity, Judaism, and Islam; medieval languages like Latin and Old English; and cultural topics like gender in the cultures of the period. The program aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to the medieval worldview in Europe and beyond, and the origins of the modern world.
