students to compare medieval cultures, noting both their differences and their
common traditions, in the period between 500 and 1500 A.D. The program combines
a broad background in various aspects of medieval culture with more specialized
study in a selected field. Fields of emphasis include art history, history,
literature (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian and Latin),
music, philosophy, and religion. Requirements: Students majoring in medieval
studies must complete at least 30 semester hours (10 courses); the minimum for
double majors is 24 hours. Students select one course from medieval literature,
one from art or music, and one from history or philosophy; three courses (at
least two at the 300 or 400 level) must be selected in a field of emphasis. All
majors must complete five (5) medieval studies courses at the 300 or 400 level.
It is recommended, but not required, that students take two semesters at the

Adviser: Dr. Roger D. Ray
Medieval and Renaissance Studies
University of Toledo
Toledo, OH 43606-3390
Degree: The Medieval and Renaissance Studies offers a BA degree.
Degree Requirements: This humanities major provides
interdisciplinary study of the Medieval and Renaissance civilizations including
the Western World, the Byzantine and Islamic worlds, and Late Greco-Roman and
Christian Antiquity. It offers formal courses and many possibilities for
independent study in art history, English, foreign languages and literature,
history, music, philosophy, religion, and theatre. The chairperson of the
Committee on Medieval and Renaissance Studies serves as the academic adviser.
The program requires 60 hours of study, distributed as follows: A) HIST 3100,
3110, 4030, 4040 (12 hours); B) Electives (39 hours). With the assistance of
the adviser, the student must elect a truly interdisciplinary array of courses.
If the student cannot satisfactorily read one of the learned
or vernacular languages (other than modern English) of the Middle Ages and the
Renaissance, some elective hours must be used to remove the deficien-cy; C)
Final Project (9 hours). This is a research or creative activity leading to a
formal paper or an artistic expression. As a rule it requires the reading of
primary sources in the original language. The hours may be spread over a full
academic year, distributed between two semesters or earned entirely in one. The
committee on Medieval and Renaissance Studies approves the written proposal and
appoints a faculty supervisor. The project may be concentrated in one field,
such as philosophy; but an interdisciplinary committee of three faculty
members, including the project supervisor,
grades it.

Special
emphases: The education of aspiring medievalists requires both training
in basic skills and tools and fostering certain qualities of mind and
imagination. It includes the acquisition of expertise in "reading"
the materials remaining from the medieval past, the acquisition of language
skills and the sensitivity to language essential for access to medieval
cultures and societies, the mastery of both disciplinarity and
interdisciplinarity, and learning to be a comparativist. An ability to read
Latin (and Latin and vernacular manuscripts) is regarded by the Centre as an
essential tool for scholars working in the Middle Ages.
