Morphology
The meaning 'a publication listing the courses offered' is directly and compositionally derived from 'course' (series of lessons) + 'catalog' (ordered list or listing). This noun–noun compounding pattern is transparent and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Course catalog comes from a simple idea: a catalog is a small book that lists things and a course is a class at school. Think of it like a menu showing every class you can take, so it means 'a book or website that lists a school's courses and details'.
