Overview

History 372: High Medieval Europe, 1000-1350, is a three-credit, senior-level course that surveys the most significant political, economic, social, intellectual and religious events and trends in Europe from the turn of the first millennium until the Black Death, c. 1350. To engage students with the achievements and challenges of this period, the course presents primary source readings from the period as well as current scholarly interpretations of the High Middle Ages. Through researching a particular historical question in detail, students will exercise the research, critical reading, and writing skills needed for success at university and beyond. Students study the materials independently at their own pace and may consult the tutor assigned to assist them and mark their work.
