The college curriculum atlas
K-12 tells you what every state thinks a child should know. College is where curriculum fragments into ten thousand syllabi — and where curriculum management matters most for the self-taught.
A syllabus dataset, not a search engine
Real syllabi from real universities, saved into a versioned CurrMana dataset — so every comparison draws from the same stable source instead of whatever the internet returns today.
Course standardization
"Intro to Microeconomics," "ECON 101," and "Principles of Economics I" are the same course. CurrMana merges high-similarity courses into one canonical entry and highlights exactly where their readings and assignments differ.
The prestige lens
Filter any course by the tier of institution the syllabus came from. See what an Ivy assigns for the same course a state school teaches — and whether the difference is real or cosmetic.
Knowledge degrees
Add courses — or single units from courses — to a personal study plan. Complete the plan and you've done a degree's worth of reading, deliberately sequenced, with no gaps.
Data sourcing, under way
Candidate sources are being evaluated for licensing and coverage — including the Open Syllabus Project's corpus of millions of syllabi, university OpenCourseWare programs with full reading lists and assignments, and state common-course-numbering systems as the standardization backbone. The findings will be published here with the same provenance rules as the K-12 dataset: every claim traceable to a saved source.
