PHY at Wayne State University

The map

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 PHY work. Click any course to see what it requires and unlocks without leaving this page; hovering lights up its neighbors. The lists on this page carry the same courses in text form.

Showing the 69 PHY and feeder courses that have prerequisite links. 19 more PHY courses have no recorded prerequisites. They are listed under Tracks below, not drawn as loose dots here.
