Abstract: Scheduling courses at university is a multivariable problem that is complex because it involves many variables that have limitations, e.g. the classrooms, lecture hours, lecturer schedules, and the schedule of students who will take the course. For more than 40 years the problem has been examined to obtain an optimal solution or at least close to optimal. The purpose of these studies is to avoid clashes between variables involved in the scheduling. Some research focus on developing model and/or approaches, and the other focus on building a computer program. Graph coloring is the most widely used model for modeling and resolving courses scheduling problems. This paper is a literature study on several graph coloring algorithms with the largest first scheme, i.e. the Greedy algorithm and the Welsh-Powell algorithm that are used to model and solve scheduling problems in the university course. By understanding these various algorithms, it is expected that a model and solution can be formed that is suitable for the problem of scheduling courses at universities, especially in Indonesia. Keywords : Graph Coloring, Course Scheduling, Greedy, Welsh Powell.
