The program in Medieval and Renaissance Studies attempts to recreate the interlocking of many disciplines that characterized Medieval and Renaissance culture.
A certificate program that coordinates a student's training in the Medieval and Renaissance areas in such a way as to enrich the work in the major department while forming a coherent and integrated interdisciplinary experience.
Many of the medieval and Renaissance courses that I have taken have also reinforced my studies for courses of other disciplines.

Student Testimonials
Everything I studied in my completion of the Medieval and Renaissance Studies certificate complemented all the other fields, and led to a richer and more multi-layered interpretation of each.

Student Testimonials
Through the Magna Carta I saw the early roots of democracy; through the battle between popes and kings I saw the eventual emergence of separation of Church and State.

I have taken classes in Latin, history, linguistics, German, and the history of art and architecture; this variety contributes to a broader understanding of medieval and Renaissance culture than the courses in any single department would have done alone.
