All Yale College students are eligible for the interdisciplinary Certificate in Medieval Studies. The Certificate requirements are deliberately flexible: they are compatible with any major and can nourish and support almost any interest in the Middle Ages worldwide. 

Whether you want to learn about the Middle Ages as a serious hobby, or you’re looking to hone specialist skills in support of a senior essay, the Certificate in Medieval Studies will help you focus your studies and allow your work to be recognized on your diploma.

You can declare the Certificate directly through Yale Hub: choose Declare Major > Concentration within the Major > Certificate, then select Medieval Studies. We encourage you to consult one of the Certificate Advisors as you design your program of study and complete your requirements.
