This really depends on what modern Tang Soo Do school you are thinking of when you ask about the "TSD curriculum."
During the late 1940's, "Tang Soo Do" was a generic term used by Korean dojangs for the type of martial art they practiced. Other names included, "Kong Soo Do," and even "Subak Do." The 5 major kwans used this distiction (Song Moo Kwan, Chang Moo Kwan, Ji Do Kwan, Chung Do Kwan, Moo Duk Won).
When the push for the kwans being assembled under one larger organization and losing their "kwan" names, the leader of the Moo Duk Won Tang Soo Do dojang (Hwang Kee) walked away from the unification process and kept the original name. This is why most people not familiar with the detailed history only think of Moo Duk Won when people mention "Tang Soo Do." But, all of the 5 major schools used this originally.
Originally, all of the 5 major dojangs were simply karate schools. You can trace each kwan founder back to their instructor - which was usually a karate teacher (Gichin Funakoshi, Toyama Kanken, etc.) The exception may be Hwang Kee, for which I haven't heard of a definite direct instructor in his case - which is a bit of a sore spot among many Moo Duk Won instructors. They have a good art, and I'm proud that they have stuck to their guns and preserved the teachings. Another exception is Yoon Byung-In, who taught both karate and chuan-fa at what became the Chang Moo Kwan Tang Soo Do dojang.
So, if you're asking about the old-days curriculum you would have to look at the old kwan to find the curriculum. But, most taught karate forms and techniques (Pyung Ahn forms (Pinan, Heian), Bassai Tae, Chulki, No Hai, Wan Shu, etc). Basically, the forms found in a classic Japanese/Okinawan karate school. Like I mentioned, the exception may be Moo Duk Won and certainly Chang Moo Kwan (which had karate from Toyama Kanken and Chuan-fa from Jang Chun, China). As for weapons, I only know about the Chang Moo Kwan and Ji Do Kwan. Both, head instructors (Yoon Byung-In and Yoon Kwe-byung, respectively) studied karate in Japan from Toyama Kanken. They both learned bong(bo) teachniques and forms from Toyama Sensei. Even Yoon Kwe-Byung published a bong hyung & technique book in the 1940's-even most senior Ji Do Kwan instructors don't know this information.
There were originally no throws, like in yudo(judo) in any of the Tang Soo Do schools. The Koreans were allowed to study Judo during the 1930's & 40's by the occupying Japanese forces- but this didn't get added to the Tang Soo Do curriculums at first. Even the Ji Do Kwan started out teaching karate in the Chosun Yun Moo Kwan judo dojang-like a seperate department of instruction. But, any of the throws, joint locks and takedowns in any branch of Tang Soo Do were added later from other arts- such as Yudo or Hapki Yu Kwon Sul (Hapkido). This is the normal way systems grow. But, the original curriculums were simply karate or karate/cuan-fa schools.
Nowadays, the Tang Soo Do schools have larger curriculums that have been influenced by instructors learning other places over the years. So, you would really have to ask the individual schools about their curriculum in modern times.
