If your organization uses Education Management to create any Courses records, you must create at least one Course Categories record. Each Courses record must be associated with a course category before being saved.

You can build a curriculum using Course Categories. For example, a curriculum might require students to choose two courses from one course category and one course from another to achieve certification.

You can create a hierarchy of Course Categories by creating subcategories. For example, a parent category of Business may contain sub-categories of Information Technology, Management, and Finance.
