Medieval and Renaissance Studies Courses (MEDREN)

Registrar's helpful links for students

The 25 Medieval and Renaissance courses listed below are being offered in Spring 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. Seniors graduating this spring must meet with the DUS to make sure that all requirements for the major or minor will be met before graduation.

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 those who are not aware of the opportunity, Duke and UNC have a reciprocal registration arrangement that allows undergraduate students at one university to take courses at the other. 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.

Inter-Institutional Registration Agreement

Under the inter-institutional registration agreement, any graduate, professional, or undergraduate student enrolled as a degree-seeking student at any of the following participating universities may participate in registration via the inter-institutional registration process:

Duke University

University of North Carolina at Greensboro

For further information on rules and registration procedures, go to the Inter-Institutional Registration Agreement website.

Duke/UNC direct bus: A new Duke/UNC direct bus, funded by the Robertson Scholars Program, departs frequently and makes traveling between the two campuses easier than ever before. See the Robertson Scholars website for the departure and arrival schedule for this bus.
