- | ======Liberal Education Requirements====== | ||
- | |||
- | Required for all students at the University. These have changed for students admitted after Fall 2010. See the [[http:// | ||
- | |||
- | 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/ | ||
