The Medieval and Early Modern Studies program is a small major; there are usually about 14 majors at any given time, although many more students take MST courses and it is possible to minor in MST. The undergraduate advisor is Kevin Roddy, who teaches most of the MST classes. Students also take courses in a number of other departments to fulfill their requirements for the major/minor. Contact Dr. Roddy or Dr. Waters with any questions about the program.
