Overview
The Medieval and Byzantine Studies program from Catholic University of America recognizes the complex intertwining of religious studies, philosophy, history, languages, literatures, and cultures for advanced study in any field. Thus it draws upon course offerings from the School of Arts and Sciences, Canon Law, Music, Philosophy, and Theology and Religious Studies.
Students must choose one of three possible regional and civilizational foci:
- The Medieval West
- Byzantine and Orthodox Studies
- The Islamic World
Permutations of these regional divisions-such as studies of borders and intersections of these areas-can also be accommodated with the approval of the MBS director. The program requires 30 hours of academic credit taken from three broad categories: History and Social Structures; Thought and Worship; and Cultural and Artistic Expressions.
Language requirements:
- Demonstrated competence in M.A.-level Latin, Greek, or Arabic, depending on the focus area.
- Demonstrated reading knowledge of one modern research language.
- Competence in additional medieval languages may be required if necessary for research purposes.
Research requirement:
- Non-thesis option: Two substantive research papers submitted for review and approval by a faculty committee appointed by the MBS director.
- Thesis option: Successful completion of the M.A. thesis.
Programme Structure
Courses included:
- Course work: Ten approved graduate courses (30 credit hours) in a distribution determined by the primary area (see below). For students choosing the thesis option, two of those ten courses (6 credit-hours) will consist of thesis advising.
