Course Schedule for Medieval and Byzantine Studies
MBS compiles a list of approved courses every semester. The list contains both courses offered directly through MBS (labelled MDST) and courses offered by other schools and departments that are relevant for the study of the Middle Ages. Only courses from the approved lists can be considered for MBS credit and students are required to consult their advisors to approve their individual choices.
For language courses in Greek and Latin please consult the course schedule of the Department of Greek and Latin.
