Delve into the intricate tapestry of the medieval era through our specialized Medieval Studies track. This curriculum aims to deepen your knowledge of medieval history or provide a comprehensive introduction for new learners.

The program features extensive scholarly coverage spanning the medieval centuries (approximately 300 to 1500 CE). It examines Western Europe, Scandinavia, the Eastern Mediterranean, and other regions through diverse lenses including faith traditions, economic systems, the Crusades, Islamic civilization, gender studies, manuscript analysis, theatrical traditions, regional narratives (focusing on the West Midlands, Scotland, Spain, Iceland, and Byzantium), artifacts, comparative approaches, and the worldwide medieval experience.

Throughout the coursework, you'll be guided to connect classroom learning with your individual research focus and final thesis project.
