Monastic institutions dotted the medieval European landscape and communities of married and celibate persons have existed in many religious traditions, occidental and oriental, and in many centuries. This graduate certificate offers an inter-disciplinary approach and a multi-faceted and integrative perspective to the study of the social and historical circumstances within these institutions and the literary, intellectual, popular, artistic and architectural expressions of these myriad movements.
The Graduate Certificate in the History of Monastic Movements is open to students enrolled in a graduate degree program at Western Michigan University. The certificate requires 18 credit hours of approved courses, including a Seminar on Monastic and Communitarian Movements offered by faculty of one or more of the participating departments or institutes.
