<p>I wanted to get an idea of how good the physics the department is at Whitman compared to its other departments and how it compares to physics departments at other liberal arts colleges in terms of preparation for graduate school, and just overall education quality and rigor.
Anyone who actually goes to Whitman? or anyone that knows anything</p>

<p>When my daughter was trying to decide between Whitman and another school, she emailed a professor (emails found on website) in a field she was interested in and asked away. The professor was very generous with her responses. You could probably ask someone in admissions to put you in touch with a current physics major also. If you do a search on the website for “physics” you will get all the recent news, awards, grants, etc., including info on the quite impressive new microscopes.</p>
