Registrar's helpful links for students

The 30 Medieval and Renaissance courses listed below are being offered in Fall 2005 and count toward the major and minor. See Program Requirements for distribution requirements among the four course-study areas. Students should meet with the Director of Undergraduate Studies for advising before determining a course schedule.

For course descriptions, see the Online Course Synopsis Handbook. Not all departments have put up or will put up course descriptions in the Online Course Synopsis. Course descriptions, along with other information for registering (including pre-Curriculum 2000 and Curiculum 2000 designations), can be found in the MEDREN section of ACES online. Note that there will also be a link to a course's cross-listing in another department, where you might find other information on the course.

Course descriptions can also be found in the current Undergraduate Bulletin, where over 120 Medieval and Renaissance courses are listed. When looking in the Bulletin for course descriptions, keep in mind that full course descriptions are given in one place only (to save space)—in the section of the course's home department. For example, MEDREN 144B, Renaissance and Baroque Art History (cross-listed with Art History 144B) is listed among the MEDREN courses, but its full description is to be found in the Art History section of the Bulletin.

All the courses listed below may be taken toward degrees in both Medieval and Renaissance Studies and in the departments to which MEDREN courses are cross-listed.

To read about faculty teaching the courses below, go to Faculty Profiles.

For all sorts of valuable information on registration, see Trinity College's Summary of Important Information about Requirements, Registration, and Other Academic Regulations.

For a list of medieval courses being offered at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, see the Carolina Association for Medieval Studies (CAMS) website listing of classes. Unfortunately, the UNC Renaissance group does not announce its course offerings each term, but may in the future.
