Medieval and Renaissance Studies (Certificate Only)

Medieval and Renaissance Studies Graduate Certificate (add-on only)

CEMERS, 香港六合彩资料鈥檚 Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, offers a graduate certificate at both the master鈥檚 and doctoral levels as part of its larger mission to promote innovative interdisciplinary work on topics that fall between late antiquity and the early modern era.

The graduate certificate program is intended to foster the highest levels of concentrated work both within departments and across departmental lines, enabling students to build an interdisciplinary program in either Medieval or Early Modern Studies.

Two tracks are offered for the graduate certificate: Medieval (late 4th through 15th centuries) and Early Modern (15th through 18th centuries).

1. Medieval Track - (late 4th through 15th centuries)

  • Five 4-credit, 500-level courses are required (overall GPA of 3.0 or higher and minimum of B in each of the required courses):
    • Two of the five courses should be taught by faculty from outside the student鈥檚 degree-granting department.
    • Of those two course, one will be chosen from among the interdisciplinary 鈥501鈥 graduate seminars parented by CEMERS and offered each year; by petition, this course may be substituted with another seminar with a demonstrable interdisciplinary component, offered through a department other than the student鈥檚 own.
    • Students may, in exceptional cases, petition the Graduate Certificate Committee to accept one of the five courses at the 400-level.
  • Proficiency is required in languages appropriate to the course of study (one at the master鈥檚 level; two at the doctoral level), to be demonstrated by means acceptable to the degree-granting department.
