-=== Program Sub-Plans === 
-^ Additional Programmatic Requirements Depending on Sub-Plan ^^^^ 
-| Students are required to complete one of the 5 degree sub-plans. Requirements for each sub-plan are subject to departmental review and approval for each student. See the relevant pages for details. |||| 
- 
-======Liberal Education Requirements====== 
- 
-Required for all students at the University. 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; requirements may be different for students admitted before Fall 2010. 
- 
-For physics majors, 2 of the 7 diversified core 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 four 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 designated theme requirement will also satisfy one of the diversified core 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.)
