Key Summary

Our career-oriented Master of Science in Athletic Training (M.S.A.T.) degree program is the state's first entry-level master's program with accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education.

They now work with athletes and physically active individuals in well-known organizations including NCAA sports teams, the NFL's Cleveland Browns and New England Patriots, Cirque du Soleil, as well as many public and private high schools.
