The Master of Science (M.S.) program specializing in Athletic Training is structured as a professional graduate curriculum for those pursuing board certification. Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree to enroll in this professional master's program, which commences every June.
Athletic training education employs a competency-focused methodology across both academic and clinical environments. Following a medical education framework, students learn to deliver holistic patient care across five key practice areas: injury prevention; assessment and diagnosis; urgent and emergency response; therapeutic interventions; and healthcare administration and professional wellness. CAATE-accredited programs mandate mastery of theoretical knowledge, practical skills, clinical competencies, and professional conduct standards. The curriculum includes intensive clinical training aligned with the proficiency objectives outlined in Athletic Training Education guidelines.
This professional master's program aims to equip students with comprehensive training in patient-focused care, collaborative healthcare practice, research-driven methods, quality enhancement, medical technology applications, and professional ethics.
