BA in Liberal Arts and Sciences in Interdisciplinary Studies - Medieval Studies in Urbana United States | University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

This program immerses students in medieval civilizations (approximately 500-1500 CE) worldwide, offering insights into historical eras, cultural movements, social structures, artifacts, ideologies, and ethical frameworks across diverse medieval societies. The curriculum bridges multiple regions and academic disciplines, exposing students to the vast spectrum of medieval cultures while exploring various analytical approaches for their examination.
The program requires at least 45 credit hours, structured into: (I) a foundational course in global medieval literature and cultures, (II) geographically distributed courses as outlined, (III) specialized medieval studies courses chosen with faculty guidance, and (IV) a culminating research and writing project. As Medieval Studies is inherently interdisciplinary, students should collaborate with faculty advisors to create a well-rounded curriculum incorporating History, Anthropology, Literature, Arts, and Philosophy or Religion. While medieval language proficiency isn't mandatory, students planning graduate work in this field should complete at least two language courses, with up to twelve language credits applicable toward additional Medieval Studies requirements.
