About Bachelor of Arts - Interdisciplinary Programs - Medieval Studies
Program Description
The Medieval and Renaissance Studies (MRST) at the University of Tennessee is an interdisciplinary program that studies the events and cultures of the rich period stretching from 300 to 1700 C.E. Students can take courses from approximately 40 faculty members across eight affiliated departments. We explore developments in Europe, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean during these centuries from the perspective of many fields: architecture, art history, archaeology, history, literature and languages, music, religious studies, philosophy, and political science. The curriculum introduces students to these fields and their methods, while allowing them to concentrate on the eras and approaches that excite them most.
In MRST classes, students and faculty together encounter the past as “another country” in order to understand the conditions that have shaped today’s increasingly interconnected world. MRST majors and minors graduate with a multifaceted understanding of the medieval and Renaissance worlds and with skills essential for the job market, including sensitivity to cultural, linguistic, and historical difference and experience making contemporary sense of the texts and contexts of past times.
