Key Summary

About : The M.S. in Athletic Training program prepares students for a career in the fields of sports medicine and rehabilitation. It emphasizes hands-on experience through clinical rotations and labs, focusing on injury prevention, assessment, and rehabilitation strategies. The program typically spans two years and includes coursework in anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics.

Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue careers as athletic trainers, sports coaches, or rehabilitation specialists in various settings such as schools, colleges, and healthcare facilities. This degree opens doors to jobs in athletic organizations or medical practices focused on sports-related injuries.

Athletic trainers help keep athletes and other physically active people at the top of their game. And a master’s degree helps you do that better — and makes you more competitive in the job market.

In fact, Over 70% of athletic trainers possess advanced degrees, and those with master's degrees earn, on average, $5,000 more per year than those with bachelor's degrees.

But that’s not the only reason to get your master’s. A new set of standards set by the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance requires all aspiring athletic trainers to get their master's degree before entering the profession. Students intending to enter baccalaureate programs will not be able to do so after 2022
