Athletic Training

Athletic training is an allied health profession dedicated to prevention, care, and rehabilitation of injuries in physically active people.  Athletic trainers work with physicians and other members of the sports medicine team to help injured athletes return safely to their sports.  The mission of our program is to provide students with the necessary academic and clinical background that will allow them to become certified by the National Athletic Trainers’ Association upon graduation.

 

The four-year program in athletic training requires practicum experiences and clinical internships totaling at least 1500 clock hours under direct supervision of a certified athletic trainer.
