Medieval & Early Modern Studies

MEMS is an interdisciplinary program that spans a diverse array of subject areas ranging from history to literature to the arts. Cornell's block plan enables our students to delve deeper into their studies through a number of opportunities. These include research seminars led by Cornell faculty at Chicago's Newberry Library, research fellowships through the Cornell Fellows Program, and off-campus semesters in Florence or  London/Florence.
