Relating to the courses of study offered by a school or educational institution.
From Latin 'curricular,' derived from 'curriculum' (a course or curriculum), which comes from 'currere' (to run). It metaphorically compares education to a course or race track.
The word 'curricular' literally refers to a 'course' because education was imagined as a structured path or race you run through different subjects, just like an actual race track with a set route.
