Athletic Trainers (ATs) are health care professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide preventative services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions.

To become an athletic trainer, candidates must graduate with a Master’s degree in Athletic Training from an accredited athletic training program and successfully pass the Board of Certification (BOC) exam.

There are a variety of work settings where Athletic Trainers are employed and provide care for both athletes and non-athletes alike. Most of our program graduates enter the workplace after completing their masters degree, the most common settings nationwide are outpatient clinics with high school coverage, intercollegiate and professional athletics. Emerging employment settings where certified athletic trainers are working include the industrial/occupational settings, the military, performing arts, law enforcement, police, and as physician extenders.
