The Medieval Studies major explores the legacy of the Middle Ages, a period central to our understanding of both the past and the present. Through interdisciplinary study of medieval art, history, language, literature, music and ways of though and religion, students develop an integrated understanding of medieval civilization.

Spring Course 2008 (MVRU2998-001) STUDY TOUR : MEDIEVAL SPAIN (walking the Camino de Santiago, 24 May - 7 June) ![]() ![]() ![]() Medieval Studies regularly offers study tours to European destinations. One of these is on medieval Spain, and is conducted as a walk along the Camino de Santiago. The Camino is the traditional pilgrimage route from France across northwestern Spain to Santiago de Compostela, the legendary burial site of St. James. One of the great medieval pilgrimages and an outstanding itinerary for medieval monuments and landscapes, it has enjoyed a remarkable revival in recent years, attracting European Union sponsorship, the attention of media stars, and hundreds of thousands of walkers and pilgrims.
In this two-week study tour, which was offered for credit as a spring course in 2007 and will be offered again as spring course in 2008, participants will walk in May-June along the last 200 miles of the route from the medieval city of León to Santiago. The group will meet each day to share their experiences and consider the medieval and pre-modern setting and monuments along the route. The group will also meet periodically during the spring 2008 semester to discuss reading assignments and prepare for the walk.
