Athletic Training Curriculum

Our students get the opportunity to work with all varsity sports, learn from our doctors and staff, and physical therapists.  Our goal is to expose the student to a variety of sports, injuries, the comprehensive rehabilitation process, and educating him or her on preventive care and medicine.   If the individual decides to continue his or her education at a four year university, the foundation to more in depth study is present. 

Students interested in majoring in athletic training, kinesiology, pre-physical therapy, or physical education are recommended to complete an Associates of Science, or Associate of Arts degree.  These career opportunities require the individual student to obtain a four year degree. 

 

Below are lists of the required coursework for the Associate of Science and Arts degrees.  A comprehensive list of suggested elective coursework is beneath the required coursework.  Not all classes are offered in all semesters.  It is recommended for the student to enroll in 12-16 credit hours per semester.  Students must complete a minimum of 62 credit hours with a minimum 2.0 G.P.A. to receive the degree.
