Medieval and Early Modern Studies

About

Where do modern social institutions ” like universities, legal systems, and capitalist economies ” come from? The genesis of many institutions and concepts can be traced back to the medieval and early modern period. It was an age characterized by deep religious faith and creativity; by philosophical and religious explorations; and by the rise of vernacular languages. Cataclysmic events, as well as ongoing shifts in class structures, agricultural production, religious organizations, and military technology made this a tempestuous time in which to live, one not unlike our own in its complexity and vitality. Study this remarkable period for a unique vantage point as we approach the conflicts and challenges of our modern world.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

Students have wide flexibility in selecting courses for the major. Recommended preparation includes survey courses in medieval history, art history, religion and philosophy, along with a three-course sequence on medieval culture. After completing this preliminary work, students select from a variety of courses in these subject areas as well as dramatic art, music and political science. To meet a graduation option, seniors may write an in-depth paper on some aspect of medieval culture.

English Program Requirements

A strong understanding of the English language is important to your success at UC Davis. If you have been studying in the United States for fewer than three (3) years and your native language and school language of instruction prior to your study in the United States was not English, you must demonstrate English proficiency. Meeting this requirement through the AP exam, IB exams or transferable college courses also satisfy the UC Entry Level Writing Requirement (ELWR).
