Ancient and Medieval Studies, Minor

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Ancient and Medieval Studies involves a multi-disciplinary examination of the culture, history, literature, philosophy, art, drama, science, mathematics, politics, and religion during the roughly 6500 year period spanning from around 5000 BCE to 1500 CE. That last date is traditionally thought to close the Medieval period, but in reality, it is an arbitrary point-both the Ancient and the Medieval periods bleed into and exert an important influence on those of the Renaissance and Early-Modern periods. Students will have an opportunity to expand their knowledge in these directions.
