It includes the historical, artistic, literary, and intellectual dimensions of one of the most important formative periods of Western civilization. The certificate is fundamentally interdisciplinary in nature, drawing on course offerings in Art History, Classics, Comparative Literature, English, French, Italian, Germanic Languages and Literatures, History, Judaic and Near Eastern Studies, Philosophy, Political Science, Spanish, and Portuguese. Its requirements promote the integration of a variety of perspectives into a broader understanding. The certificate, which will be recorded on the student's transcript, is open to any undergraduate regardless of his or her major field. Requirements A minimum of six courses (18 credits) with a grade of BC or better (no course may be taken Pass/Fail). The courses should include at least one in history, one in a medieval literature, and one in another field of medieval studies, in at least three departments. Acquisition of a working knowledge of one medieval language and/or Latin is strongly recommended. A list of 35 courses approved for the Certificate is available; students may petition to include other relevant courses.
