Admission to Degree Programs. The Medieval Studies Admissions Committee accepts students either to the master’s or Ph.D. program. An undergraduate major in the area of study is not necessarily required, but before admission students must give evidence of adequate preparation to work in their proposed area of emphasis.
The M.A. Program. Work leading to the degree of Master of Arts in medieval studies may be undertaken under either Plan A (with thesis) or Plan B (without thesis). In either case, course work in medieval studies should be distributed among several departments, and the student’s advisory committee is composed of representatives of three departments.
The Ph.D. Program. Approximately one half of the course work required for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in medieval studies should be in the department of emphasis, the remaining half to be taken in two or more other cooperating departments. In addition to the Graduate School’s requirements for the doctorate, reading examinations in three foreign languages, Latin and two languages significant to the student’s program.
