Physics Major
Get focused
Use lasers to turn metal meshes into filters that separate oil from water. Analyze galaxy motions to increase our understanding of the Big Bang. Use light to explore the inner workings of the cell. Unravel chaotic swirls of flowing water to improve the efficiency of everything from power plants to airplanes.
Our Physics Department is a place of discovery. You’ll push the boundaries of knowledge as a student researcher in innovative facilities like our optics training lab. And you’ll experience a level of mentor ship and caring you won’t find anywhere else.
Go deep.
Dive into research topics like ultracold atomic/ molecular physics, cellular biophysics, ultrafast lasers and optics, fuid dynamics, chaos theory, and cosmology.
Up your game.
Master essential skills like technical writing and public speaking, and learn scientific coding using Python.
Experience the Willamette Edge
Get to work.
Contribute to your professor’s ongoing research during the school year, or pursue your specifc interests at Willamette or around the world through a summer research grant.
Connect.
Socialize and study with your classmates in the Physics Hearth, where timely help from your professors and bad physics jokes are just a few steps away.
Launch.
Start your career right after you graduate or join our alumni at top-ranked schools like the University of Chicago, Dartmouth, UC-Berkeley, Columbia and CU-Boulder.
Engineer your future
Join our 3-2 engineering program and earn a BS from Willamette and a BS in engineering from the University of Southern California, Columbia University or Washington University in St. Louis.
