Prospective Graduate Students
The Medieval Institute boasts a 60-year-old master’s program in medieval studies, the first such program at a state-supported university in the U.S. The program blends traditional emphases on language skills and primary texts with a wide variety of courses on leading-edge subjects in premodern studies taught by faculty across many disciplines. Graduates of the program have gone on to doctorates in a variety of fields, teach in secondary and higher education and pursue careers in areas such as publishing, government service, libraries and archives and more. We urge you to explore and learn more about our programs of study, funding, our vibrant intellectual community and the rich variety of Â鶹´«Ã½ that exist in medieval studies at Â鶹´«Ã½.
