 Return to: Academic Programs
The Athletic Training, BS program is being deactivated, and students that enter in Fall 2017 will be the last students that have the opportunity to be admitted into the program. Spring of 2019 is the last semester that the Athletic Training Program will offer the professional entry course (ATTR241) for potential acceptance in to the undergraduate program. The Athletic Training MS Program will NOT be deactivated and will continue to admit students.
This major is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE), and prepares the athletic training student with the necessary academic and clinical experiences to sit for the National Athletic Trainer’s Association Board of Certification Examination (BOC). The program includes courses in injury prevention, recognition, assessment and immediate care of athletic injuries; health care administration; and professional development and responsibility.
