College Catalogs

Collection description
College catalogs are printed publications that were distributed by the school annually between the years 1886 and 2000. These catalogs provided useful information both for prospective students and students already enrolled at the school. The contents of the catalogs vary from year to year as do the titles but most contain information about the curriculum, faculty, campus, and tuition. Today, current information of this kind about MCAD is available on the school's website at www.mcad.edu and on the Intranet at intranet.mcad.edu
