BS Athletic Training

Athletic Training is an exciting allied health field which places the athletic trainer in a position of substantial challenge and responsibility. With the competencies and skills developed through education and experience, a certified athletic trainer is in a unique position.

He/she coordinates the athletic health care delivery system and makes it function smoothly. The athletic trainer directly provides athletic training services including injury prevention, injury evaluation, medical referral, emergency and follow-up care, and injury rehabilitation.

In Athletic Training, realize that your academic and laboratory experiences will include instruction from recognized experts in athletic training, exercise physiology, kinesiology and biomechanics, the psycho-social aspects of sport, management and administration, coaching, and medicine. In fact, the seven athletic trainers currently teaching in the ATEP bring over one hundred years of combined clinical experience in athletic training, sports medicine and physical therapy to the teaching/learning environment. Consider also that few institutions can provide a student with athletic training experience in a program which includes eighteen intercollegiate varsity sports for men and women and affiliation agreements with high schools, colleges and universities and sports medicine facilities within driving distance of the campus.
