Bachelor of Arts in Medieval and Early Modern Studies

Memorial University of Newfoundland

The bachelor of arts (BA) degree requires students to complete a minimum of 120 credit hours (a minimum of 40 courses) and generally takes four years to complete. During your studies, you will examine culture, thought, prehistory and history, human interactions, and the social and natural forces that constantly transform our society. You will gain the critical-thinking, analytical and communication skills needed to succeed and adapt in a changing world.Medieval and early modern studies is an interdisciplinary program that aims to promote the integrated study of the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period, defined as the interwined historical and cultural periods in Europe between Antiquity and the Modern Age (ca. 500-1700 CE). The influence of these periods is wide-ranging. Studying the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period helps you to understand the historical developments in science, law, literature, art, architecture, and philosophy that, in addition to helping us understand these fields today, are also worth studying on their own merits. Studying these periods can also shed light on the origins of particular contemporary issues concerning class, religion, gender, colonialism, race, and conflict with and within the Middle East.Length: Four yearsHonours available: Yes
