Department paths

Each of these unlocks the largest share of downstream work on this map. Courses from other departments can appear here when they genuinely gate ARTF coursework.
Intro tiers at the top, advanced work below; arrows point from a prerequisite to the course it unlocks. Courses from other departments appear where they gate ARTF work.
