Minor Requirements
Students who want a minor in medieval studies must complete seven medieval courses in at least two departments.
Courses used to fulfill the minor requirements must be taken for a letter grade and passed with a grade of mid-C or better.
Suggested Courses
Students should plan their programs as early as possible with the aid of a medieval studies faculty advisor. With the advisor’s consent, courses numbered 199, 399, 405, 407, 408, or 410 may be substituted for suggested courses. At least five of the courses must be taken at the University of Oregon. More information is available from the medieval studies office or from the Medieval Studies Program director.
