As an indispensable part of civil engineering higher education courses, structural dynamics is applied to help designers to analyze and optimize the structural response under dynamic loadings. This paper studied the curriculum provision of structural dynamics course of Tongji University, UC Berkeley, National University of Singapore and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and compared each of them by course requirements, course contents and so on. Conclusions that the curriculum provision of structural dynamics course is connected with research features, characteristics of graduate education and locations were drawn. The corresponding reform schemes suitable for China conditions were put forwarded.
