UNC Course of Study in 1841

Do you ever wonder what college was like back in 1841?

We don’t have a time machine to take us back, but I’ll share UNC’s “Course of Instruction” for the 1841-1842 academic year below to give you a sense of what an undergraduate faced…Virgil, Cicero, Tacitus, Livy, Homer…the list goes on!
