Department paths
Courses with no prerequisites inside the department that unlock the most downstream work.
The shortest canonical route from each entry point to a gateway course.

Each of these unlocks the largest share of downstream work on this map. Courses from other departments can appear here when they genuinely gate INFOST 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 INFOST work.
