A viking style ship sailing on a calm sunny afternoon seaThe Option in Pre-Modern Studies answers a growing student interest in the thought, literature, and history of the pre-industrial (pre-1800) world. While the more remote past is often romanticized as a "golden fantasy realm," the study of historical culture in world civilizations from antiquity through early modernity (ca. 1800) allows students a window onto the origins and development of culture informing modern global society. 

An option is a “mini-minor” – a set of courses in one discipline that can be completed in conjunction with any undergraduate degree program, allowing you to focus on an additional subject of interest.

Courses & Requirements:

Students who have fulfilled the requirements for an Honours or General degree in any subject may graduate with an Option in Pre-Modern Studies if they have successfully completed 5.0 credits from the courses listed below, including at least 0.5 credt from each of the periods and an additional 3.5 credits from any of the periods:
