The minor consists of six 4-credit courses, chosen in consultation with the student’s faculty advisor and in accordance with requirements below. Any member of the Medieval Studies faculty may serve as an advisor for the minor. Students are expected to develop a tentative plan of study in consultation with their advisors as early as possible during their time at BU. In order to ensure interdisciplinary breadth, students are encouraged to choose their courses from at least three different programs or departments: Current Course Inventory.
- A grade of C or higher is required in each course to receive credit toward the minor.
- Courses may be selected from those clearly identified by title or syllabus contents as concerned with the medieval period, broadly and globally conceived, including topics courses, independent studies, or relevant seminars. CAS CC 101 and CC 102 may be jointly applied as a single course.
- At least four of the six courses applied must be at the 300 level or higher. In cases where a different course numbering system is in use (e.g., the History Department), exceptions to this requirement for courses at the 300 level or above may be approved on an ad hoc basis by the students advisors.
- Students may petition to apply courses taken through Study Abroad programs, other BU schools and colleges (e.g., CFA MH 211), recognized summer institutes, or similar.
