Morphology
The meaning 'a set of classes in a subject' is directly derivable from the constituents: 'course' (a series of lectures) modified by the genitive/relationship marker 'of' linking it to 'study' (the activity or subject matter). This straightforward compositional pattern is common across languages and follows normal English noun + of + noun phrasing, so a B1 learner who knows the words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Course of study comes from the idea of course as a 'path' or 'route' you follow, like walking along a road through a subject one step at a time. So course of study means the planned path of lessons or classes you follow to learn a subject.
