course catalogs
Academic offering guides
Course catalogs are official publications listing the classes, programs, and requirements offered by an educational institution.
They typically include course descriptions, credit hours, prerequisites, and degree requirements.
Students consult catalogs when planning their academic path: Check the course catalog to see if that class counts toward your major.
Most institutions now maintain online catalogs that are updated more frequently than the printed versions they replaced.
