Renaissance Studies
The Certificate in Renaissance Studies is available to students matriculated in the Ph.D. programs at The Graduate Center. The program enables students pursuing doctorates in all aspects of the Renaissance/Early Modern period (c.1350-c.1700) to expand their studies within the context of early modern cultural analysis that crosses disciplines and national cultures, and to acquire innovative methods of cross-disciplinary research that will enhance their scholarship and teaching. Requirements for the certificate are: two core courses (Introduction to Renaissance Studies and Research Techniques in Renaissance Studies), two elective courses outside the home discipline (may include special topics courses in the Certificate Program), reading proficiency in Latin, and a dissertation on a Renaissance/Early Modern topic. The Certificate is awarded when the Ph.D. degree is conferred. For further information, contact Professor Clare Carroll, Coordinator, Telephone: 1-212-817-8124.
