CU Boulder Catalog

Visualization that shows how areas of study have evolved at the University of Colorado at Boulder.


Purpose and method

What we think of as different academic areas of studies and disciplines changes over time. This visualization shows how these different areas merge, break apart, and move around over time by using the CU Boulder archive of course schedules.


Method

Names of non-empty sections were transcribed into the records inside the data folder with a best attempt to understand how sections from one year map to the next. For example, Computer Science is a section in the College of Arts and Sciences in 1980 and then moves in 1985. Each year from 1980 to 2020 are recorded at 5 year increments.
