Bar chart titled "Top Fall 2023 Courses by Enrollment." The chart shows the number of enrolled students for various courses. COLLEGE 101 has the highest enrollment at 934 students, followed by CS 106A with 542, CS 106B with 504, and so on. Courses range in subjects from computer science, mathematics, biology, to earth systems. The bars are color-coded and arranged in descending order of student enrollment. A note at the bottom cites the source as ExploreCourses and mentions that the numbers were gathered on Nov. 1, 2023, from a web scrape of Stanford's Explore Courses website and do not include non-matriculated high school students.
