The Athletic Training program is based on the philosophy that education is a life-long process. This is particularly true for a profession, which through its practice of specific skills, seeks to fill the needs of athletes and recreationally active individuals. The needs of this select group are dynamic due to continually improving methods of training and new findings through research.
Upon successful completion of the Athletic Training program, you will receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Training, thus making you eligible to sit for the Board of Certification exam. Upon passing the BOC exam, you will attain the qualification of a Certified Athletic Trainer.
