About Us
Whole-person healing is at the heart of the degree programs offered through the Bastyr University Department of Nutrition & Exercise Science. Our mission is to promote well-being through food and activity, while nourishing and sustaining the individual, the community and the earth.
Our innovative nutrition degree programs encompass a "whole food" approach, allowing you to study food in its entirety, its individual components and how it affects the human body. This comprehensive education merges the science of nutrition with a broader view of wellness, community and the environment.
Similarly, the department’s exercise science & wellness program takes a holistic approach to health and wellness, providing you with the opportunity to explore how physical health is connected to mental, emotional and spiritual wellness.
