BA Medieval and Renaissance Studies

Medieval and Renaissance Studies encompasses the period from Late Antiquity to the Early Modern era, covering an expansive geographical range. The strength of Dartmouth's Medieval and Renaissance Studies program lies in its interdisciplinarity, with faculty housed in wide-ranging departments across the Humanities and Social Sciences. Dartmouth students interested in the study of Late Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance/Reformation period can modify any appropriate major with Medieval and Renaissance Studies. The modification exposes students to a broad array of courses concerning societies and cultures that developed and flourished from Late Antiquity to Early Modernity. While centered in Europe, the concentration embraces developments in related cultures, especially that of the Mediterranean. The modification can be used in conjunction with majors including Art History, Comparative Literature, English, French, German Studies, Government, History, Italian, Portuguese, Religion, or Romance Languages
