college courses
Higher education classes
College courses are the individual classes that make up a degree program at a university or college.
Each course focuses on a specific subject—introductory psychology, organic chemistry, American literature—and typically spans a semester or quarter.
Students assemble their schedules from required courses in their major and electives chosen freely.
The phrase also appears in discussions of workload and difficulty: I'm taking five college courses this semester.
