Washington State University's Department of Nutrition and Exercise Physiology (NEP) offers integrated programs focused on how nutrition and exercise impact human health. Unlike traditional programs that separate these fields, WSU's approach combines biological studies with social and behavioral sciences. Located within the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine, the department emphasizes an interprofessional learning environment where students train alongside doctors and other healthcare providers. The programs prepare students for diverse careers in healthcare, research, and academia. WSU's NEP department utilizes state-of-the-art simulation centers with advanced technologies and standardized patients to provide realistic health scenario training. The curriculum is built on rigorous academics, research opportunities, and clinical practice, aiming to equip graduates to serve individuals, communities, and populations through food and physical activity.
Graduates of the Nutrition and Exercise Physiology programs are prepared for a wide array of careers in healthcare and related fields. The interdisciplinary approach and practical training equip students to address health challenges at individual, community, and population levels.
