Masters of Athletic Training

Program Overview

The athletic training program (ATP) leads to a Master of Athletic Training (MAT) degree. The MAT program is a professional athletic training program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Students graduating from the ATP are eligible to sit for the Board of Certification exam and become a Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC). Students enrolled in the ATP will gain first hand learning experiences with university sponsored athletic teams as well as other off-campus clinical sites.

Students have two avenues in which to pursue the MAT degree:
1. Undergraduate students can enroll in a joint degree program that links the Health Science Studies (Pre-AT Track) and MAT degree programs so students can receive two degrees in 5 years.

2. Students receiving a bachelor's degree from another institution are able to apply as a traditional graduate student if they have completed the prerequisite coursework.

All students will receive a 40% tuition remission in the first year of the program. Tuition remission is increased to 45% in the second year of the program.

Applications for early review are due October 31, 2020. All applications are due by April 2, 2021 for a programmatic start in mid-June 2021. The MAT program will review applications on a rolling basis until the deadline. Students will not have to submit a GRE score to apply.
