This is a compilation of required courses for Mount Holyoke students from 1930 until 1978. All information has been taken from the Mount Holyoke College Catalog, which can be found in individual volumes in the Williston Library and the College Archives. The information presented here includes general required courses as well as distribution requirements; it does not represent requirements for each individual major. All requirements are listed in the first year of each decade (1930, 1940, etc.) and changes are listed for subsequent years. The information has been compiled to provide an efficient way to compare curriculum at Mount Holyoke over a period of time without searching through each individual course catalog.
