curriculum

Structured learning path

A curriculum is the set of courses and content that make up a program of study.

Schools design curricula; teachers implement them.

The word often appears in debates about what students should learn: The district added financial literacy to the curriculum.

A curriculum vitae (CV) is a summary of one's educational and professional history—literally, the course of one's life.
