What is the difference between the syllabus and the curriculum?
A syllabus is an outline of a specific course prepared by the instructor. It included the topics to be covered, their order, often the required and suggested reading material, and any other relevant information. “Curriculum” refers either to all of the courses offered by an educational institution or to the courses offered in a specific program. For example, you can refer to the “pre-medical curriculum” when you are talking about the series of courses that an aspiring doctor must take as an undergraduate (in the U.S., at least) before applying to medical school.
