What this opens up

19 courses list PSY290H1 as a prerequisite

The other 8 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names PSY290H1 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what PSY290H1 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.
