Bachelor of Arts in Global Medieval Studies

The Global Medieval Studies Program offers an interdisciplinary undergraduate major in Global Medieval Studies, as well as a minor (open to students in the College, MSB, and SFS), both focused on the period from the fall of Rome (5th century A.D.) to roughly the year 1500. The program focuses on a historical and cultural period in which Georgetown University has particular strengths across many disciplines, ranging from art and music to philosophy, from literature and history to theology, from China to the Middle East to Europe. The period between ca. 500 and 1500 C.E. is not only interesting in itself, it was a seminal period in the narrative of modern culture. This era witnessed extraordinary interchange between East and West, especially in technology, literature, science, education, and trade, it also saw the growth and spread of Christianity, the spread of Buddhism to East and Southeast Asia, the establishment of the Hindu synthesis in South Asia, the remarkable rise, spread, and civilization of Islam, the codification of common law, the development of business law and ethics, the establishment of the first secular schools of medicine and law, the invention of banking, the rediscovery of Aristotle in the West, the rise of vernacular literatures, art, and music, and the establishment of the university. These and other developments have had a lasting impact on the world's cultures.
