Students who pursue the medieval and early modern studies (MEMS) certificate are free to take a variety of courses offered in numerous departments across the CU Boulder campus. In consultation with the CMEMS director, each student can tailor the certificate to meet their intellectual interests in the study of premodern Europe and its global influence. Students usually earn the certificate in tandem with a BA degree in history, classics or English, and find the analytical and linguistic skills particularly useful for graduate work in history and law.
