SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the challenge of accessing university syllabi and textbook lists for institutions such as MIT, Stanford, and UC Berkeley. While some courses publicly display their textbook information, many universities restrict access to this data. Participants recommend exploring university department websites and academic catalogs, which may provide insights into course materials. Additionally, individual faculty members often maintain their own syllabi, which may include textbook references.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of university course structures and academic catalogs
  • Familiarity with navigating university department websites
  • Knowledge of how syllabi are typically organized by faculty members
  • Basic research skills for locating educational resources online
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to access academic catalogs from various universities
  • Learn to navigate university department websites for course information
  • Investigate platforms that aggregate textbook information from multiple universities
  • Explore methods for contacting faculty members for syllabus inquiries
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and researchers seeking to understand course materials and textbooks used in top universities, as well as anyone interested in academic resource accessibility.

Is there a way to see syllabus and textbooks of a university which I'm not belong to?
I visit website like course catalog of universities like MIT, Stanford, UC of Berkeley.
Some course of some major of some university reveal their textbook used in course but it seems generally that syllabus and textbook titles can't be viewed by public.
Please recommend website where I can find what books top schools use in courses or universities which let textbook title be viewed by public.

Univerisity departments usually have websites these days. One will often find a list of courses for each major, possibly with some description of the course contents and prerequisites. Some universities publish their course/academic catalogue in pdf.

However, each faculty member is responsible for the syllabi he or she uses, and one usually has to look under the faculty listings for the syllabus, which may have a reference to the textbook or textbooks used for the course.
