An editorial home for independent study
Open Curriculum is an independently edited course directory connecting university materials, instructors and paths across disciplines.
From a collection to a course of study
Public courses offer substantial material, but finding a useful course still requires reading, comparison and judgment. We bring topics, prerequisites and teaching credits together to make that process easier.
The website offers course introductions and original study guidance. Teaching, material rights, course support and certificates are determined by the respective providers.
Begin with the course
Consider the title, topics, instructors and prerequisites together. Institution names identify the actual sources of the courses.
Keep the source in view
Every course includes its source and listed version. Videos, notes, assignments and access conditions are maintained by the provider.
Connect the ideas
Subject guides and study paths help organize courses. The directory’s editorial notes offer ways to plan and study.
