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 PHYS 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 23 PHYS and feeder courses that have prerequisite links. 13 more PHYS courses have no recorded prerequisites. They are listed under Tracks below, not drawn as loose dots here.
