Curriculum. A History of the American Undergraduate Course of Study Since 1636.
Rudolph, Frederick
In addition to describing the traditional college curriculum and comparing historical moments in curriculum change in America, this history defines other historic dimensions: prescription versus free choice, general versus specialized education, elite versus egalitarian education, mass versus individualized instruction, autocratic versus bureaucratic administration, subject-based versus competency-based curricula, and others. The origins of these concepts and the tensions existing between them are addressed. (MSE)
