Overview

Key facts

Many people have a concept of the centuries between 300 and 1500 CE as the "Dark Ages," a time when the former Roman Empire collapsed into barbarism and superstition. Yet this period saw the genesis of nearly every social institution still current today, including universities, hospitals, modern legal systems and capitalist economies.

Real World Outcomes

Many Medieval and Early Modern Studies students at University of California, Davis, go on to graduate school, where they find that their interdisciplinary training prepares them to succeed in a variety of fields. While many earn doctoral degrees in preparation for academic careers, others study library science, communications, or business. Still others combine technical skills with their broad academic preparation and find employment in Web design, graphic design, or other professions demanding a blend of creativity, communication skills, and computer proficiency.
