About Us

Curious about how it all works? Have suggestions? We’d love to hear them! Feel free to reach out to any of us—your feedback means a lot.

Built by Amherst students, this course catalog is a dynamic discovery platform designed to bring the Open Curriculum philosophy to life through technology. We created this intuitive platform to give students the power to truly explore their academic options without limitations. By providing equitable visibility to all courses across departments, Course Explorer ensures you'll discover classes that are not as visible on Workday, helping you make the most of Amherst's unique curriculum freedom.

Planning your schedule is seamless with our integrated calendar views and multi-semester planning tools. Add course sections to your saved schedule to visualize how they fit together, while our intelligent conflict detection system automatically highlights scheduling conflicts with color indicators.

We hope Amherst Course Catalog helps you make the most of your academic journey at Amherst!
