Mission Statement & Learning Outcomes

The Whitworth University Physics Department and Dual-Degree Engineering Program strive to provide students with the foundational skills necessary for success in science and engineering while preserving the university's strong tradition of a broad Christian liberal-arts education. Our curriculum, which integrates a laboratory with each subject of physics along with a growing integration of original and publishable research into the undergraduate experience, provides an understanding of real-world problems.

The learning outcomes of this major prepare the student to do the following:

• Be proficient in physics and math.
• Be able to integrate faith and vocation.
• Be employable in a wide range of fields.
• Demonstrate critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Be competent in oral and written communication.
