Course List Latex Template

Post by analysister » Wed Nov 13, 2019 5:56 pm

Hey guys,

I went to make my list of courses to submit with a lot of my applications and couldn't find a template for it... so I made one.

I know Ohio State has the generator but that didn't work for me (Gave me a corrupt Pdf) and this will match the formatting of my CV (I highly recommend the Trey Hunner template).

It allows for all of the same information as the Ohio State form does, but all of the inputs are optional besides the Course Name. Feel free to use and send around if you think it'll be helpful!


Here's a link to the .cls and .tex files, and a sample class list:

Hope it makes someone process a little tiny bit easier :D

Ignoramus here - is it usual to have to list your courses like this for your undergrad? Do you list all of the courses you've taken in your undergrad, or just those in your final year?

Some schools specifically ask for it (I've seen it from Northwestern, Ohio State, maybe a few others) , but it isn't expected by most schools. They can get most of the information on it from your transcripts. Sometimes they just want to know what textbooks you've used or topics covered since courses can vary a lot from school to school.

Glad, took 11 courses last year and will be taking around the same this year! (my university effectively makes you take at least 10) Would be a pain to list them all and give course descriptions. Cheers.

Do you think they want all your courses or just math? UNC, for example, it seems, wants only math...

Just math classes with a list of topics covered in each class. A lot of schools ask for the name of the professor and your grade in that class. There's a lot of repeating the info that's on your transcript :(

Not sure. 3 of my classes last year were in statistics, rest math, and this year 1 statistics rest math, so it'd only cut down the list by a little.

Fair enough. Was going to say - courses with the same title can sometimes vary considerably in content. Won't look forward to having to compile that list eventually...
