Athletic Training Education Program
The Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP) is designed to include a wide scope of academic coursework and intense practicum experiences. This approach provides students with increased employment opportunities in clinical, educational, and athletic settings.
This design prepares the student to meet the educational competencies and clinical proficiencies necessary to be eligible to take the Board of Certification (BOC) examination. Students can tailor their undergraduate preparation to seek entrance into graduate school programs of their interest, such as sports medicine, athletic training, sports psychology, exercise physiology, cardiac rehabilitation, adult fitness, physical therapy, physician’s assistant programs, and medicine.
The athletic training major has a separate, competitive admissions process. Students interested in the athletic training education program must submit a completed application packet by March 15 of each year. Students are formally admitted by May 15 of each year. Faculty to student ratios and the highly individualized nature of this program limit the number of applicants accepted in the ATEP. The number accepted varies each year. Students not accepted into the program may re-apply the following year.
Students have the opportunity to participate in intercollegiate athletics while pursuing a degree in athletic training. However, the student must accept responsibility for managing the time required to be successful in both areas. These students must give priority to their clinical education during the off-season and non-traditional seasons. Students should work closely with their advisor and Program Director.
