Students of the Middle Ages at the Graduate School and University Center may
undertake an interdisciplinary concentration in Medieval Studies available to
anyone enrolled in the Ph.D. Program in Comparative Literature, English, French, Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian
Literatures, History, Music, Philosophy, Political Science, or Theatre. Students who complete the
requirements of the interdisciplinary concentration receive, when the Ph.D.
in the major field is conferred, a Certificate in Medieval Studies.
The Certificate Program provides doctoral students with the opportunity to
study the Middle Ages within the kind of broad and multidisciplinary
framework that is particularly appropriate to medieval studies. It offers
training in skills, such as paleography, that are important to all
medievalists, and an introduction to the central scholarly issues facing
medievalists today. A student organization maintains a library of books and
journals of interest to medievalists in the Pearl Kibre Medieval Study, a
room that provides students of the Middle Ages with a unique haven for
private and group study, as well as for talks by students, faculty, and
visitors, and for social gatherings. Certificate Program conferences and
colloquia bring scholars from around the world to the Graduate Center.
Through the New York
City Doctoral Consortium, students at the Graduate Center may enroll in
courses at Columbia University, Fordham University, and
New York University. The
New York City Doctoral Consortium in Medieval Studies sponsors an annual
colloquium for graduate students from the four consortial universities. We
also work closely with the Medieval Club of New York, a citywide association
of medievalists that presents monthly lectures on medieval topics. The
Graduate School and University Center is located within a short walk of the Pierpont Morgan Library, with its
world-renowned collection of medieval manuscripts. Proximity to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and The
Cloisters also makes New York an ideal venue for medieval studies.
