Well, my main research into this area has been 20th century Germany, but I'm pretty much just interested in the role of religion in the construction of identity throughout Europe (and America) since the Reformation.

Hello, I am currently a third year History and Philosophy/Religion double major at a small liberal arts school in Florida. I have a few areas of interest and am trying to decide which to pursue in graduate school. One such interest is nationalism, in particular the ties between religion and nationalism. Does anyone have any pointers as to which programs/schools I should look into in order to study this? Thank you.

Hello, please excuse what may be a dumb question, UPenn's website claims that they only offer a Ph.D in Religious Studies and not an M.A. or a terminal M.A. Does this mean that they do not accept students without an M.A./M.T.S./M.Div?

For sure man, their M.T.S. program actually looks really promising as well.

Thanks a lot Derfasciti! That book looks like a great tool.

Thanks for the input guys. I know the language issue is really important; I would have liked to have two years of Latin, but they are not offering Latin this coming year due to lack of demand, so I'll only have it my last year. It is possible that I'd be able to have a second year of German and/or a year of French by the end of it all. I'll definitely look into doing a Latin independent study though. I also plan on looking at theology/religious studies programs as well.

Hey guys, I am going into my third year of undergrad at a small school in Florida and am a History and Philosophy/Religion double major. I would like to study medieval history (especially medieval religion) in grad school in either a history or religious studies program. My question is whether I have enough undergrad preparation for graduate work in this field despite my small school's limited course offerings. Here are courses related to medieval history that I have completed: Western Civ. I (pretty basic, but the professor was a medievalist), Medieval Europe, History of Christianity (again, the professor was a medievalist). Here are the courses I should be able to have taken before I graduate that are applicable: A year of Latin and a year of German, a class on St. Francis and Franciscan theology, and hopefully either a class on Medieval Religious Minorities or a class on the Crusades. Are these courses sufficient preparation?
