News, Dates & Updates
Prerequisite Changes for 2007
If you’re planning to attend Bastyr starting in 2007
or 2008, please note a few changes to our prerequisite
requirements. Starting fall 2007, an intermediate
algebra class is required for entrance into all programs
(except the ND program). College algebra is strongly
encouraged for all programs, especially for students
thinking of graduate school. And starting in 2008,
those entering the herbal sciences program will need
to have an Introduction to Botany class under their belts.

(and check back frequently for updates).
Explore Bastyr at On-Campus Events
Interested in Bastyr’s programs, but just need a bit more information? Don’t
miss a great opportunity at our upcoming
Evening at Bastyr
on Thursday, November
16, from 6:30-8:30. You will have a chance to talk to department faculty, current
students and Bastyr representatives to learn more about admissions, financial aid,
housing and student activities. If you miss that event, our open house will be
held on Saturday, February 17, 2007, where you can also take a campus tour and
attend some informational sessions. Mark your calendar and stay tuned for more
details about both of these events or call the admissions department at (425) 602-3330.
Recruiting Schedule Now Available – We’re on the Road!
If you live in a region of the country besides the Northwest, you don’t have
to fly there in order to decide if our programs are right for you. Our admissions
advisors can come to you! We are traveling around the country this fall to answer
your questions and provide you with more information about Bastyr and its programs.
Check out the recruiting schedule to find out when we’ll be at a location near you.
Tour Bastyr’s Hair-Raising Haunted Trails
Think Bastyr is all about feel-good, healing activities?
Guess again! Student council hosts an annual fundraising event
with a more sinister flavor: Bastyr University’s Haunted Trails.
This popular event is a hair-raising tour through the dark and
eerie haunted forest trails of St. Edward State Park, right behind
Bastyr’s campus. Or, for younger children, Children’s Halloween
Story Time provides merely a mild scare.
Find out more about the dates, times and prices for this event.
Bastyr Shines
Bastyr Keeps Students Technologically Fit
Even though Bastyr is all about natural health, we
don’t shy away from technology. Our Department of Information
Technology works hard to secure the resources students need to
stay up-to-date. We issue email addresses to all students and
alumni, provide access to many computer terminals, offer a
wealth of database resources through our library, as well as
wireless Internet access throughout the campus and teaching
clinic. Read more about Bastyr’s technology resources.
Attendees Applaud “Bastyr Connection” Event
Our summer admissions event, The Bastyr Connection, was a great success,
with 79 people in attendance. The event, which took place on August
24, gave prospective students a chance to talk with students, staff
and faculty to get the “inside scoop” about Bastyr. In a follow-up survey,
over 90 percent of attendees said the day helped them to make a decision
to apply to Bastyr. Eighty seven percent said the event met or exceeded
their expectations, and 82 percent rated faculty, staff and students as
approachable. One attendee stated, “I loved all the people available to
answer questions and just talk about the programs and the school a whole.
It was very familial and warm.” We hope to see you at our fall and winter
events!
Program Highlights
Bastyr Announces New Developments in Health Psychology Curriculum
Bastyr now offers an even more well-rounded program in mind-body
psychology. Starting in 2007, our BS in health psychology now has
two tracks: general health psychology; and psychology and human
biology (pre-medical studies) with an optional summer massage
intensive. Both tracks now include an in-depth exploration of
spirituality and health. The first track is a great choice to
prepare for further degrees in psychology and the pre-med track is
perfect preparation for further study in the biomedical fields.
Find out more about this program.
Bastyr Nutrition Researchers Awarded Grant
A $225,000 grant was recently awarded to investigators at
Bastyr University to study whether regular consumption of
legumes (beans, peas, lentils and chickpeas) may help with
weight control and reduce the risk of chronic disease.
Bastyr researcher Dr. Megan McCrory is the principal
investigator and lead author of the grant.
Read more about the study.
New Grant Gives ND Students Better Research Training
Bastyr University has recently been awarded a significant research
grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) entitled:
Naturopathic Physician Research Education Project (N-PREP).
This grant will allow Bastyr to develop the curriculum needed
to enhance the research training of students. The study will
be led by Bastyr’s dean of the School of Naturopathic Medicine,
Dr. Gannady Raskin, who will collaborate with a group of Bastyr
researchers and partner with a group of faculty at the
University of Washington. Find out more about this grant.
