Medieval Studies

The program in Medieval Studies offers an undergraduate interdisciplinary minor in Medieval Studies. The minor has three principal purposes:

1. To give undergraduate students who have an interest in Medieval Studies the benefit of advising about what courses are available in the various departments and how certain courses might fit together into a meaningful sequence or cluster.

2. To enable students to be informed about lectures, colloquia, social events, and conferences of interest to them.

3. To allow those undergraduates who complete substantial work in Medieval Studies to have that fact acknowledged. Should those students wish to pursue further academic work after graduation, their chances of success in the competition for admission to graduate school will be enhanced not just because of the official notice on their transcript but because they will have gained greater professional competence through informed participation in the Medieval Studies program at Berkeley.

Declaring the Minor

Students may declare the Medieval Studies Minor once they have declared a major and completed one upper-division course towards the minor.  At that time, students should meet with the Medieval Studies Minor Adviser to fill out a Minor Registration Card.  Undergraduate Minor Advising office hours can be found here.
