Athletic Training, M.S.

In the didactic phase of the program, students take courses that cover the five domains of athletic training: injury and illness prevention and wellness promotion; examination, assessment and diagnosis; immediate and emergency care; therapeutic intervention; and health care administration and professional responsibility.

• Identify injury, illness and risk factors associated with participation in sport/physical activity
