The Department of Sports Medicine, Health and Human Performance offers a major program for athletic training. The major program is designed to prepare students to enter the athletic training and allied health fields. Major emphasis is placed on the development of cognitive knowledge in addition to psychomotor skills. This includes practicum, laboratory, and internship experiences. The program prepares students for the National Athletic Trainers' Association Board of Certification examination. The major is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs.
The Athletic Training Program may be combined with another major within the college, such as teacher education. The student will be required to complete additional coursework. A plan of study must be devised as early as possible with the department chair and the academic adviser in the chosen major.
Admission
Admission is competitive and is based upon skills and knowledge competencies acquired in BIO 107, BIO 107L, BIO108, BIO 108L, ATH 170, and ATH 132. A minimum of C+ must be obtained in each of the courses. No program course transfer credit will be accepted for the required courses (BIO 107-108, ATH 170, and ATH 132) due to the limited number of openings per year in the program. Transfer student admission is also competitive with a limited number of openings available. A minimum G.P.A. of 2.3 is required. Students must apply for admission by December 1 of the Fall semester. Admission is made at the end of the Spring semester each year. A two-year (four-semester) minimum time period must be allowed for the completion of the required 875 clinical hours once the student is admitted. An off-campus clinical practicum experience and an off-campus internship experience are required of all majors. Additional health requirements and physical and cognitive technical standards are described on the admission application and in the student handbook. The athletic training education Web site also provides additional information for program applicants.
