In this article, we propose a guide for designing a quantitative curriculum in higher education institutions. Our guide consists of five key questions whose answers have substantial ramifications for the curriculum’s designers when it comes to finding an approach appropriate to the institutional context. We illustrate the utility of our design guide by walking through our own efforts to design a quantitative curriculum for the University Scholars Programme (USP), a multidisciplinary honours college at the National University of Singapore (NUS).
