current courses | past courses | required courses

Because the course offerings for medieval studies vary a great deal on a year-to-year basis, there is no one course list or program for either the undergraduate or graduate program. These pages are meant to illuminate what has been taught at UCSB over the past few years, what courses are being taught this year, and what courses are required for the various programs. Classes for the Winter and Spring quarters are tentative. Follow the departmental links for further information.
