Athletic training encompasses the prevention, examination, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of emergent, acute or chronic injuries and medical conditions. Athletic training is recognized by the American Medical Association (AMA), Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as an allied health care profession.

The Master of Athletic Training Program is committed to educating highly qualified allied health professionals who make a difference in the world by being productive, responsible, and engaged athletic trainers in a multicultural and rapidly changing world. This will be accomplished by emphasizing a personalized, diverse, and dynamic learning environment that stimulates engagement with technology, ideas, and other health professionals.
