The Program in Medieval Studies was founded to offer advanced training in interdisciplinary research methods to graduate students with an interest in the Middle Ages. With an emphasis on language skills and work with primary documents, Yale's degrees in Medieval Studies provide students with a strong foundation for original research spanning many fields. The Program counts many distinguished medievalists among its alumni. Currently, we have particular strengths in medieval interfaith relations in the greater Mediterranean world, the history and culture of medieval Iberia, cultural transit on the Silk Road, Gothic and late medieval art, aesthetic theory, reading practices, and polyphonic song. This list is by no means exhaustive, and prospective students are encouraged to explore the interests of our faculty and current graduate students for a sense of our Program's range.
