The early modern studies (EMS) minor is available to master's (M.A. and M.F.A.) and doctoral students. The program encourages inquiry into the early modern period, roughly 1300 to 1800 A.C.E., using insights and perspectives from multiple disciplines. The minor provides graduate students with solid grounding in the theories and multi-disciplinary methods used by scholars studying the early modern period, particularly through the required core seminar (EMS 8250 - Seminar in EMS: Current Research and Methodologies), which is co-taught by professors from two distinct departments.
The minor also offers an opportunity to interact with the current research of visiting scholars and University of Minnesota faculty and graduate students through EMS 8100 - Workshop in Early Modern Studies, in which students share written responses to workshops and lectures on campus. Finally, the minor draws electives from existing courses in departments across the College of Liberal Arts, as well as those in the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine. The University of Minnesota has numerous library collections and research centers which include a focus on the early modern period. For more information on the minor, visit www.cemh.umn.edu/minor.
