The concentration requirements consist of four subjects, at least one of which is to be taken in the medieval period by students whose focus is to be the Ancient World, or one in the ancient period by those whose focus is the Middle Ages. Subjects listed below as Ancient and Medieval may count for either. At least two of the subjects taken towards the concentration must be taken at M.I.T. Only one language-learning subject may be counted towards the concentration. However, literature studied in the original language is not subject to this restriction. Students interested in the program should contact Prof. Eric Goldberg, Room E51-290, (617) 324-2420, egoldber@mit.edu or Prof. Stephanie Frampton, Room 14N-434, (617)253-4452, sframpto@mit.edu.

There are two forms (Proposal and Certification of Completion) required to track your progress in pursuing a concentration in Ancient and Medieval Studies. Each must be signed by the concentration advisor and submitted by the student to the History Office (E51-255). The Proposal for a Concentration in the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences requests a list of the Ancient and Medieval subjects the student has taken or intends to take. This form should be submitted by the end of the sophomore year. The Certification of Completed Concentration in the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences confirms your completion of the requirements for the concentration. This form should be filled out as soon as the required course work has been completed, or by the end of the first week of classes of your final term, whichever comes first.
