o
watch the sun illuminate a stained glass window in Chartres Cathedral
and understand what is depicted; to decipher the handwriting in a
five-hundred-year old manuscript and wonder what the person who wrote
it was thinking; to ponder the philosophical questions raised by the
Nominalists in the fourteenth century, questions that still provoke
heated discussions amongst contemporary philosophers today; to read an
account of a sixteenth-century mystic and see in her experience a
challenge to our own notions of what constitutes the “ideal” body.
n
intellectual interest in a historical time period far removed from our
own brings many rewards: the pleasures of pursuing historical
difference, of seeing how similar cultural questions received quite
different answers, and, perhaps most importantly, of gaining the
ability to project oneself imaginatively into another person’s way of
life. The Certificate in Medieval and Renaissance Studies is designed
to give students the freedom to undertake interdisciplinary work in
several departments, which in turn will provide the tools necessary
for viewing clearly not only a distant society, but also, in its
reflection, our own. The Certificate is an added credential (similar
to a minor) that demonstrates a student’s substantive grasp of complex
cultural formations as well as a specialized intellectual challenge
pursued in addition to the major. 
he Certificate requires 15 credits (five courses), of which a minimum of 9 credits (three courses) will be earned in 1000-level courses. 
o develop an acquaintance with some major events, moments, and individuals in pre-17th-century Europe, the Program requires students to take at least one course on the medieval period and at least one on the early modern era. 
he total of five cour
strong recommendation, beyond these requirements, is that certificate candidates acquire a reading knowledge of a modern European language as early as possible. In addition, Latin is suggested for those who plan to do graduate work in the field. 
tudents
can enroll in the Certificate Program at any time during their university
coursework but are encouraged to apply as early as possible. To enroll,students can complete a brief
application form available from Amy Nichols, Assistant to the
Director(CL 1328), or they can sign up at any time in 140 Thackeray. The form does not require the Director's signature, but we encourage students to email the Director in order to introduce themselves and to discuss their particular interests.
