# Summary
|
||||
|
||||
The OSSU curriculum is a **complete education in computer science** using online materials.
|
||||
The NXFury curriculum is a **complete education in information security** using online materials.
|
||||
It's not merely for career training or professional development.
|
||||
It's for those who want a proper, *well-rounded* grounding in concepts fundamental to all computing disciplines,
|
||||
It's for those who want a proper, *well-rounded* grounding in concepts fundamental to all information security disciplines,
|
||||
and for those who have the discipline, will, and (most importantly!) good habits to obtain this education largely on their own,
|
||||
but with support from a worldwide community of fellow learners.
|
||||
|
||||
It is designed according to the degree requirements of undergraduate computer science majors, minus general education (non-CS) requirements,
|
||||
as it is assumed most of the people following this curriculum are already educated outside the field of CS.
|
||||
The courses themselves are among the very best in the world, often coming from Harvard, Princeton, MIT, etc.,
|
||||
but specifically chosen to meet the following criteria.
|
||||
It is designed based on the Open Source Society's Computer Science curriculum,
|
||||
and it is assumed most of the people following this curriculum are already vaguely familiar with the world of computing.
|
||||
The courses themselves are hand selected for the highest quality, but specifically chosen to meet the following criteria.
|
||||
|
||||
**Courses must**:
|
||||
- Be open for enrollment
|
||||
- Run regularly (ideally in self-paced format, otherwise running multiple times per year)
|
||||
- Be of generally high quality in teaching materials and pedagogical principles
|
||||
- Match the curricular standards of the [CS 2013](CURRICULAR_GUIDELINES.md): Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in Computer Science
|
||||
|
||||
When no course meets the above criteria, the coursework is supplemented with a book.
|
||||
When a student wishes to pursue industry, level certifications, the curriculum shall
|
||||
include opportunities to substitute training for those in place of pre-existing course materials.
|
||||
When there are courses or books that don't fit into the curriculum but are otherwise of high quality,
|
||||
they belong in [extras/courses](extras/courses.md) or [extras/readings](extras/readings.md).
