Book of Hours, the Netherlands, second half of 15th century Medieval Studies Program Description

Cornell’s Medieval Studies Program is designed to provide students with expertise and professional success in the fields of particular departments, the members of whom will likely form the majority of the students’ Special Committees.  But Medieval Studies also presents graduate students with combinations of scholars in clusters of study that might not be as visible in traditionally defined departmental graduate training.  At the right are listed just some of the possible clusters of graduate study available in Medieval Studies, with the names of members of the Medieval Studies Graduate Field who regularly teach and mentor students in those clusters, and some information about courses or other resources.  For further information about individual faculty listed here, see http://www.arts.cornell.edu/medieval/People/faculty.htm.

This section also contains information for undergraduates and from Cornell University's Procedural Guide for the graduate field of Medieval Studies, in addition to a comprehensive list of the Medieval Studies course offerings since 1993. More information on student life is available under the "People" heading.

THE PROGRAM IN MEDIEVAL STUDIES

First Days at Cornell

New students should carefully study the provisions of this Procedural Guide before registration. During registration week, the Director holds a meeting to orient new students about the Program and Cornell generally, and to answer their questions about the plan of study outlined in the Procedural Guide. At registration and during the early weeks of the term, the Director and other members of the Program will on request make extra efforts to advise and assist new and continuing students. We hold a reception to welcome new students and introduce them to faculty members and continuing students.
