The trivium was a Medieval education taught in universities that embodied three disciplines or areas of study: grammar (in Latin, the scholarly language of the times), logic, and rhetoric. The trivium is analogous to today's undergraduate studies, because it was meant to prepare students for work in the quadrivium.
Trivium translates loosely to mean "three ways".
