Athletic Training
The AT major is not available for students who started in Fall 2017 or later.
The Athletic Training major is designed for students who want to become a Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC). The athletic trainer specializes in the following practice areas: prevention, recognition, evaluation, immediate care, rehabilitation and recognition of athletic injuries, health care administration, education, and counseling. Athletic training is recognized by the American Medical Association as an allied health care profession. This curriculum is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Athletic Training Education (CAATE).
Students who choose this major are also encouraged to take additional courses in Biology, Mathematics, Physics and Psychology. To obtain the clinical skills required of the curriculum, athletic training students will participate in a three year clinical rotation under the direct supervision of a Clinical Preceptor (CP).
