All degree-seeking students must complete the University’s Liberal Education requirements.

Collegiate Requirements:

A minimum of 21 free electives is required for each major. It is highly recommended that all majors try to achieve 30 free electives. Sub-plans within a major that have licensure, accreditation, or certification requirements are eligible for exemption granted by the Undergraduate Policy and Review Committee.
All CFANS undergraduate students must complete an Experiential Learning (EL) requirement. Experiential learning is a way to learn by doing, or learn by experiencing. Instead of acquiring information from a classroom lecture or book, experiential learning gives you active, hands-on experience in the real world. Examples of experiential learning options within CFANS include: off-campus study programs, field-based research, service-learning classes, internships, volunteer work related to your studies, and more.
All CFANS undergraduate students must complete an Interdisciplinary (ID) Learning Requirement. An interdisciplinary (ID) course addresses issues from at least two different academic disciplines (two fields/departments within the university). By integrating two disciplines into one class, students have the opportunity to develop integrated problem-solving skills.

To determine which of your major classes fulfill the EL and ID requirements, see your APAS report. Students are encouraged to work with their academic advisor to identify EL and ID requirements in their graduation planning.

At least 15 upper-division credits in the major must be taken at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus.
