The Purpose and Procedure of this Study

Introduction

American history has long held a well-established place in the curriculum of the senior high schools of the United States. In many schools every pupil is required to take American history in order to be eligible to graduate from high school. If American history is not included as a specific subject offered in the curriculum of a senior high school, then one may expect to find it incorporated into some other part of the curriculum, perhaps into a general social studies course.

Comments

From 1939 to the early 1950's, Western offered graduate courses in Kalamazoo in conjunction with the University of Michigan. All degrees were awarded by the University of Michigan.
