What is a Course Catalog?

A Course Catalog lists all courses offered by a college or university. The institutions publish such catalogs before start of each academic year in order to enable the prospective candidate learn about the courses offered in the institution.

For Example take a look at the Courses offered by Harvard University. It offers so many courses that you have to search the catalog using their website. Try it out.

Also browse through the course catalog of IIM Calcutta, India

A course catalog thus contains the following at the bare minimum:
* Course Title
* Department (This may not be written in the catalog for each course, but a department lists its courses)
* Credit hours
* Co-requisites or pre-requisites for taking a course
* Fee information
* Restrictions, if any
