The Medieval and Renaissance program at Barnard College is designed to enable students to acquire both a broad knowledge of the European Middle Ages and/or Renaissance and a richer and more detailed understanding in one area of concentration chosen by the student. Students can elect to concentrate in one of the following disciplines: art history, history, literature, philosophy, romance languages and cultures, music, or religion. We encourage our students to take advantage of relevant courses taught at Columbia as well as at Barnard, with the result that more than sixty courses are currently listed as approved for the major.
Student Learning Outcomes
Students who graduate with a major in Medieval and Renaissance Studies will be able to attain the following outcomes:
- Demonstrate a broad knowledge of the European Middle Ages and/or Renaissance.
- Show they also have in-depth knowledge in their chosen concentration of study.
- Create an original research project centered in primary sources.
