It's important to note that the specific names and structures of programs might have varied slightly between colleges and universities. Furthermore, the relative popularity of certain fields would have been different. For example, while engineering and business degrees existed, the explosion in these fields wouldn't occur until later decades. The humanities and liberal arts likely held a larger share of undergraduate enrollment in 1960 than they do today.
