I have always been interested in exercise and sports, and Bastyr University offers the only exercise science program that focuses on the body, mind and spirit. I loved that the program was not just about working out and getting better physically, but also mentally, spiritually and emotionally.
Bastyr helped me personally; my education at Bastyr definitely facilitated me becoming more "well" as a person. I learned so much. Through my program and through talking to people in different programs, I’ve realized that the definition of wellness is different for everyone.
Now a graduate, I plan to work in research in the areas of cardiology or oncology. There are a lot of new studies on the positive effects exercise therapy can have for patients in cardiac rehabilitation and in cancer recovery, so these are very promising areas for exercise science graduates.
My education was worth every penny, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. The faculty is wonderful and helpful. I had an amazing experience at Bastyr, and I would recommend it to anyone.
