About the program

The major consists of pre-professional and professional phases. During the pre-professional phase, students complete 80 observation hours in the athletic training room, where they are exposed to the academic and clinical requirements of athletic training. Students then apply for formal acceptance into the professional phase, where they spend three years applying academic knowledge and clinical application of athletic training skills in a variety of clinical settings, such as intercollegiate athletics, high schools, sports medicine clinics, orthopedic offices and other health care settings.

Upon graduation, students qualify to sit for the national Board of Certification examination. Athletic Training is a suitable option for students who wish to pursue a dual credential of physical therapy/athletic training.
