Academic Programs: Undergraduate Athletic Training Program
Overview:
The Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training (BSAT) is a professional preparation program designed to provide students with the education necessary to prepare them for certification by the National Athletic Trainers' Association Board of Certification (NATABOC). Students pursuing certification in Athletic Training must be admitted to the Athletic Training Education Program and complete all requirements. The ATEP is accredited by the Commission for Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).
The requirements for admission to the program for entering freshmen include 2 letters of recommendation. One must be from a certified athletic trainer, 100 hours of observation in an athletic training program and an interview. Prior to admission to the program students must complete the application for admission to the ATEP, provide proof of a physical examination, sign the technical standards and provide proof of vaccination for hepatitis B. Detailed admissions instructions are available at the ATEP web site, from the program director, or in undergraduate admissions.
As a result of changing University requirements, the program of study for the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training is under review. Anticipated revisions may reduce the total number of credits required for this degree program.
