Physics: Material Science Focus
Linfield University is no longer enrolling students in this program. You might instead consider our physics major.
The concentration in material science is an option within the physics major to further prepare you for material science and engineering graduate programs and for careers in technology fields. For this focus, you must take additional courses in chemistry and mathematics compared to the physics major.
As a physics major with a material science focus at Linfield
you might take:
Explore the extremes of the universe: the very fast, very cold and very small. (PHYS 215)
Modern Physics
Explore the extremes of the universe: the very fast, very cold and very small. (PHYS 215)
Learn to write your own computer code to solve real-world problems. (PHYS 325)
Computational Physics
Learn to write your own computer code to solve real-world problems. (PHYS 325)
Follow the footsteps of Bohr, Schrodinger and Fermi as you apply quantum mechanics in studies of atomic systems and nuclei. (PHYS 475)
