Bachelor's Degree in Athletic Training

The Athletic Training Program's (ATP) primary mission is to educate each of its students about the theoretical and clinical skills necessary to work effectively with the physiological, psychological and biomechanical aspects of injury, illness and performance regarding physically active individuals. Students are presented with the didactic, psychomotor, and affective experiences that will lead them to be able to exercise sound and ethical judgment and critical thinking and problem solving skills in order to assist them in achieving satisfying careers and making positive contributions to their profession and communities. We are proud to offer individualized attention and boast an average size of approximately 10 students per class within the major requirements. 

We received our initial accreditation in 2004.  In 2009, the ATP received a 10-year award of continuing accreditation from the Commission on the Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE).  This honor is the highest awarded.  It exemplifies the integrity and quality of our program.  We offer clinical assignments and observation opportunities within multiple professional settings, including: collegiate, high school, physical therapy, chiropractic, and general medical and orthopedic physician clinical rotations.
