Undergraduate Mediterranean studies
The Mediterranean Studies Program offers insight into the Mediterranean world from the perspective of two key cultures: those of Spain and Italy. Courses, offered both in and out of the department, provide a broad perspective on Mediterranean culture, covering its literature, history, arts and politics.
Students may opt for a General (minor) or Major degree. Learn about the Mediterranean studies program entry in the UVic Academic Calendar.
