Bastyr Expands Department of Nutrition and Exercise Science with Two New Degree Programs
Bastyr University is pleased to announce the expansion of its bachelor’s degree offerings in the Department of Nutrition and Exercise Science beginning in the 2009-2010 academic year.
The University is now offering a Bachelor of Science with a Major in Nutrition and Exercise Science. The degree will combine the curriculum of Bastyr's innovative undergraduate nutrition degree programs, which emphasize a "whole-food" approach, with that of its unique exercise science and wellness degree program, which integrates exercise physiology and holistic health and wellness. Graduates with this unique degree combination may develop careers as community health and fitness professionals, strength and conditioning coaches, or personal trainers. This degree also prepares students for graduate work in related health science fields.
Bastyr is also introducing one of the nation’s first Bachelor of Science with a Major in Nutrition and Culinary Arts degree programs. This innovative two-year bachelor completion program applies Bastyr University’s signature "whole-food" approach to the culinary arts. Students enrolled in the program will receive an education founded in nutrition and food science, while also developing culinary skills and an understanding of the therapeutic aspects of food. Graduates of this program may have enhanced career opportunities in areas requiring both a deep understanding of nutrition and skills in the culinary arts.
