Construct your own path with an interdisciplinary minor in medieval and early modern studies by choosing 18 hours of coursework from across the university’s many disciplines. Students will take either ENGL 205 or HIST 250 as a foundation course, and then choose from courses in literature, history, philosophy, theatre, and art history.
