学生可以根据几个不同的学科领域构建个性化的程序。此外，中世纪研究计划中交叉列出的课程使学生在UCSB和更大的学术界与中世纪主义者保持联系。中世纪研究计划的本科生也应邀参加中世纪的座谈会和讲座系列。在指导员和注册员的许可下，本科生可以报读研究生课程。
Medieval Studies is an interdisciplinary program in which European and Middle Eastern civilizations of the Middle Ages can be explored from the viewpoints of many traditional subject areas: history, literature, religious studies, drama, art, and music. As a student in the program, you can build a program around one or two of these disciplines, enriched by the others, or organize a program in which several subject fields are more or less balanced. In order to enhance the interdisciplinary nature of the major, the Medieval Studies Program has designed a series of cross-listed courses that will put you in touch with a number of medievalists both at UCSB and in the larger scholarly community. Each year at least one upper-division course from another department that fulfills the requirements of the medieval studies major will be cross-listed as Medieval Studies 100 (A-Z). The instructor of that course will invite at least one professor from another UCSB department to guest-teach a class, and the students will have the opportunity to attend a mini-conference in which visiting scholars will give lectures on research topics relating to the subject of the course.
