Curriculums are like classes; they consist of courses, meetings, and virtual classrooms with the purpose of teaching the enrollees about a particular subject. Curriculums can have prerequisites and Test-Out items added to the requirements. A curriculum is, essentially, an online course because the enrollees must finish all requirements to pass the class.
