Bachelor of Science With a Major in Health Psychology:
Psychology, Human Biology/Pre-Med Track

This track, with a dual emphasis on basic biological sciences and psychology, provides a health psychology education within the framework of medical science. If you are seeking a pre-med degree, this is the track for you. With a few additional courses, you are also eligible to take a summer massage intensive training program. The curriculum also enables you to easily double-major in Bastyr's other undergraduate programs in nutrition, herbal sciences, and exercise science and wellness. In both tracks, you will have the opportunity for in-depth exploration of spirituality and health within the context of various belief systems.
