body: Historical Note Amherst College is currently one of the few American colleges to have an open curriculum, without distribution requirements. However, this curriculum was only put in place beginning in the 1960s. Before that, Amherst had a traditional curriculum, with various requirements for graduation. The reports in this collection map the evolution of Amherst's curriculum from the 1930s to the present and also highlight some of the issues and controversies involved in its development.
