A new mixed integer programming model for curriculum balancing: Application to a Turkish university

Yusuf Ziya Ünal and Özgür Uysal

European Journal of Operational Research, 2014, vol. 238, issue 1, 339-347

Abstract: Curriculum design is a highly important activity for the academic institutions. It is discussed in literature as a balancing academic curriculum problem (BACP). The BACP schedules courses to different semesters, while balancing the total workload per period. BACP model involves precedence relations, but the related courses are not necessarily assigned to closest periods.
