- 
-^ Additional Programmatic Requirements Depending on Sub-Plan ^^Credits^ 
-| These requirements relate to the 5 different degree sub-plans and are subject to departmental review and approval for each student. See the relevant pages for each subplan || 48-52 | 
- 
-======Liberal Education Requirements====== 
- 
-Required for all students at the University. These have changed for students admitted after Fall 2010. See the [[http://onestop.umn.edu/degree_planning/lib_eds/index.html|liberal education requirements website]] and talk with your college academic adviser to ensure you are fulfilling all requirements. 
- 
-For physics majors, two of the 7 liberal education requirements (Mathematical Thinking and Physical Science) are already covered in the core courses listed above. This leaves 16 credits in Arts/Humanities (3 cr.); Biological Science, which must include lab or field experience (4 cr.); Historical Perspective (3 cr.); Literature (3 cr.); and Social Sciences (3 cr.). 
- 
-**Designated Themes**: Each student must take at least three credits in each of the five designated themes: Civic Life and Ethics, Diversity and Social Justice in the United States, The Environment, Global Perspectives, and Technology and Society. Note that many of the courses satisfying a theme requirement will also satisfy one of the liberal education requirements. Others can be counted under the free elective category below. 
- 
-**First-year writing requirement**: WRIT 1301 //or// WRIT 1401 (4 cr.) 
- 
-**Additional free electives** in either major or non-major areas. These count towards the total credit requirement for graduation (10-14 cr.)
