Premodern Studies
Director: Jacquelyn Hendricks
The minor in Premodern Studies offers students from all departments a cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary program of study of the global premodern period between late antiquity and 1800. These periods lay on the edge of modernity, when the distinctive characteristics of the contemporary world began to form and when major new connections were made between Europe and Africa, the Middle East, East Asia, and the Americas. Study of these periods from many different points of view affords an opportunity to gain valuable perspectives on the ways that premodern people, events, and institutions helped to shape the modern world. Completion of the minor is noted on the student's transcript, and students receive a certificate acknowledging their accomplishment.
Requirements for the Minor
Students must complete the following requirements for a minor in Premodern Studies:
- Seven courses selected from three different departments with a maximum of three lower-division courses.
- One of the upper-division courses must require an interdisciplinary research paper based on source materials and secondary works dealing with a topic rooted in the premodern period. The research paper requirement may be fulfilled by enrolling in a 199 in one of the associated departments under the supervision of an affiliated faculty member or the program director.
- The study of French, German, Greek, Italian, Latin, and/or Spanish is strongly recommended but not required. Students should consult with the program director to determine the cluster of courses best suited to their personal interests and preparation.
