Curriculum

With a department code and a course number taken from the course listings, get the suggested year and term, course type, credits, hours and the course overview from that department’s curriculum. No login is needed, and you look up one course at a time (there is no whole-curriculum list). Common rules are on Common rules.

Request parameters

Python uses snake_case (curriculum_courses); Node.js and Java use camelCase (curriculumCourses). Node.js takes an object: curriculumCourses({ departmentCode, courseNumber }).

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Meaning
department_code	string	required	-	SIS code (DEPT_CD) of a degree department. Get it from the department list or from department_code in a course result and pass it in
course_number	string	required	-	Course number. Pass course_number (CURI_NO) from a course result

• Returns a list of CurriculumCourse (0 or 1 items for one course).
• An empty department code or course number raises INVALID_INPUT and no request is sent (Error codes).

School request

• GET https://www.sejong.ac.kr/curriculum/getCurriculumOneKor.do?curiNo=<course number>&deptNo=<department code>, response array items.
• Without an Accept: application/json header the school answers 404, so all three languages send it.
• deptCd in the curriculum answer uses the same code system as DEPT_CD in the SIS.

Response data structure

Example JSON. Field names are Python snake_case; Node.js and Java use camelCase. School data changes, so the values are examples.

• Cached for one day (86400 seconds by default) per department code and course number, with one school request per call.
• School-side failures (connection, timeout, bad response, no items) return the last cached value or an empty list. With no cache, an empty list without a request for 60 seconds (default).
• An empty items is a normal answer. A course that is not in that department’s curriculum gives an empty list, not an error.
• The only exception is an empty department code or course number (INVALID_INPUT).

Known limits

• Only courses in a degree department’s curriculum come back. A liberal-arts college or graduate department code can give an empty list.
• The overview is the curriculum text of the current curriculum year, not a text per section or instructor.
• The whole curriculum list is not provided. The school’s list request ignores the department code and picks the department from a screen menu number, and there is no mapping from that number to a department code. For a whole department you can call this method for each course of its lecture list, one request per course.
• The instructor syllabus is not provided. Its form carries the instructor’s name and contact lines.
• Contract source: spec/PUBLIC_DATA.md

Example code

Java

// Look up curriculum info with a lecture's department code and course number (empty list if absent)
Lecture lecture = lectures.get(0);
List<CurriculumCourse> courses = publicData.curriculumCourses(lecture.getDepartmentCode(), lecture.getCourseNumber());

Python

# Look up curriculum info with a lecture's department code and course number (empty list if absent)
courses = public_data.curriculum_courses(lectures[0].department_code, lectures[0].course_number)
if courses:
    print(courses[0].grade_level, courses[0].semester_name, courses[0].overview)

Node.js

// Look up curriculum info with a lecture's department code and course number (empty list if absent)
const courses = await publicData.curriculumCourses({
  departmentCode: lectures[0].departmentCode,
  courseNumber: lectures[0].courseNumber,
});
