In higher education , a course is a unit of teaching that typically lasts one academic term , is led by one or more instructors ( teachers or professors ), and has a fixed roster of students . A course usually covers an individual subject. Courses generally have a fixed program of sessions every week during the term, called lessons or classes. Students may receive a grade and academic credit after completion of the course. Courses can either be compulsory material or "elective". An elective is usually not a required course, but there are a certain number of non-specific electives that are required for certain majors . The entire collection of courses required to complete an academic degree is called a program (or programme) of studies.

An English major, for example, might also study one or two years of chemistry, biology or physics as well as mathematics and
