FYI: Medieval history is not an undergraduate major (it’s a field within the discipline). So you’re not going to find that unless there’s a school out there with a very unusual specialization. In any history major, students will be expected to take a range of courses to allow them to explore the histories of different times, places, and cultures, and they’ll also be able to choose additional courses in fields of interest. So you’ll want to be sure to look at departments to make sure there’s a medievalist, or at least courses in medieval history in the catalog, so your son can take a concentration of courses in that area if he wishes. But the major would be history. Alternatively, there are some colleges that offer an interdisciplinary medieval studies major, which would combine history with languages, literature, art and architecture, religious studies, maybe music, etc. I wouldn’t recommend choosing a college just for that major (interests can change), but it could be something to look for.
