Strange.

Difficult to imagine a college that has only sixteen courses; I wonder if that means sixteen SCIENCE courses, or if the writer got it plain wrong.

Oh, well - whatever.

Medieval universities had a total of 7.

First the trivium (grammar, logic, and rhetoric). When the student mastered those, he moved on to the quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy).
