Penn Course Search is a Chrome extension that allows students to search for courses in the Penn catalog from the comfort of their Chrome toolbar. Our Chrome extension eliminates the need for students to open extra tabs to gather information about a course. Everything they need is conveniently accessible through the pop-up interface.
