Program Overview
The Division of Literatures, Cultures, and Languages offers an undergraduate minor in Medieval Studies. The minor in Medieval Studies:
Provides Stanford students with the historical knowledge and framework through which to view globalism
Embeds the study of medieval culture in a coherent framework that resonates with contemporary issues of community building, the virtual world, and mobility
Promotes an innovative cross-disciplinary and skill-based approach to Medieval Studies
Preparation for the Minor
Prior to declaring the minor, students are encouraged to complete the Medieval Studies worksheet to the best of their abilities before meeting with the program director, Marisa Galvez, to approve the plan forward. Once the DLCL Student Service Officer in Pigott Hall, room 128, has received a copy of the signed plan, the student should formally declare the minor in Axess. If any changes need to be made later on, the student should always alert the SSO and program head in case any challenges arise.
