Schedules (time plans)

As part of the reform movement at Harvard, the recommended medical degree course was extended from three years to four in 1880. Students could still finish the requirements for an M.D. in three years, and anyone who completed a fourth was granted the degree of M.D. cum laude. The option to pursue a three-year course was still available until 1892 when a four-year course of study became a requirement.

This schedule from the 1881-1882 academic session outlines a student’s typical week as well as the curriculum and course of instruction.
