Required Courses

Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology (BS NEP) courses are taken in a set order and each class is only offered once a year. In the senior year, students have a choice to follow the Applied Exercise Track or the Community and Population Health Track. Your faculty advisor will help you decide which is the best for your career goals and personal interests. It is possible to complete both tracks.

For official NEP course descriptions, see the WSU catalog.
