presenting a flowchart in an accessible way

I'm working on redesigning our International Education site, which needs a great deal of rewriting, or at least rearranging, and I've run into an issue that I'd like your opinion on.

They have a flowchart that they use in its printed form to help students work through the sequence of classes, esp. to figure out when they might be able to take college-level, rather than IEP (Intensive English Preparation), courses. In the previous version of the site, the designer (student intern) just linked to the image as a separate file. I'd like to do something more elegant, accessible, or at least useful.

Here's the page:
http://www.pierce.ctc.edu/test/ie2003/prospective/programs.php3
(warning, design barely even started: dead ugly, and may render in exceptionally crazy ways.)

Would you:
a) do as the intern did (http://www.pierce.ctc.edu/International/Education/entrance.html),
b) put the picture in the page, and write a long description, or
c) do something entirely different (text representation, animation, table?)?

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
