Students who are accepted and begin the accelerated program will be classified as an undergraduate student until they have completed 17 hours of graduate coursework. Upon successful completion of 17 hours of graduate work, the student will be awarded their Bachelor of Science in Health Science Studies degree. Once the bachelor's degree is awarded, students, with the assistance of the Master of Athletic Training Program will complete steps to be classified as a graduate student.
Undergraduate students interested in a master's degree in athletic training, need to declare Health Science Studies as their major and follow the pre-athletic training concentration. Undergraduate students can apply for the accelerated professional program after the completion of 89 undergraduate hours.
Curriculum is subject to change based on graduate school policy updates.
