The graduate Athletic Training Program is designed for National Athletic Trainers Association Certified (ATC) or certification eligible athletic trainers and other athletic health care professionals. The program will allow students to focus on one of three concentrations: (1) Athletic Training Administration, (2) Athletic Training Professional Preparation, (3) Athletic Training Rehabilitation. The thirty-six semester hour program will provide students with a strong theoretical and research basis in their concentration. All students will be required to complete a fieldwork experience specific to their concentration and professional goals. Students who receive a grade of C+ or lower in any of three courses will be expected to move from the Athletic Training concentration to another program or area of concentration. NOTE: The program is not a NATABOC certification preparation program.

Undergraduate prerequisites/competencies: Applicants will need to demonstrate course work proficiency in the following areas in addition to NATABOC certification or eligibility for certification.

  • Human Anatomy and Physiology I and II (with Lab)
