The minor in Medieval Studies is designed for students who want to learn more about the Middle Ages in all its multifaceted splendor, without limiting themselves to a single department. This program encourages students to explore the medieval world through a variety of courses taught in our four core departments of History, Theology, English and Philosophy, plus course offerings in Classical Studies, Modern Languages and the various areas of Fine Arts. The Medieval Seminar (MSTU 300 Integrative Experience I & MSTU 301 Integrative Experience II), taught over two semesters, is an exciting opportunity to meet medievalists from other institutions, and to work closely with medievalist faculty here at Loyola on an interdisciplinary project of your own design.
