Program Graph
Program requirements arranged by prerequisite flow.
The graph is driven by prerequisites from left to right (instead of year suggestions). The simplified view keeps the sequence readable while the full view is closer to the real data structure.
Program legend
Node colours show required courses, related prerequisites, and distinct option sets used in the program map.

Contact Hours
Per-term contact hours by published section.
Each row shows the regular-term average per term, with summer field courses broken out separately.
Regular-term figures are averaged across the published terms in each section. Electives are simplified to 3-0-0 at minimum and 3-3-0 at maximum, scaled to the published unit count. Open a row to inspect the named courses and assumptions.
