Medieval and Renaissance Studies Minor
|
|
This minor offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the Medieval and Renaissance periods. The program reflects the nature of knowledge during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, a period in which theologians wrote poetry, poets studied philosophy, philosophers pursued scientific truths, and scientists produced works of art. We offer a set of related courses that explore not only the Medieval and Renaissance periods, but also the classical origins of those periods and the global contexts in which they took place. Please contact Mickey Sweeney with any questions or advising issues: msweeney@dom.edu
