Athletic Training
Clinical Requirements
The clinical experience is an integral part of the ATEP.
Accreditation standards require that the clinical education
component of the curriculum be at least two full years in duration.
Athletic training majors need to be routinely available during
typical practice and game times in order to fulfill the clinical
education requirements. Freshmen will need to accumulate at
least 150 hours of observational time in the athletic training facility
in order to be eligible for admission into the ATEP. Sophomores will
be scheduled to work (approximately eight–10 hours per week)
with one of the on-campus Certified Athletic Trainers to expose
them to collegiate athletic training services. The junior and senior
years are devoted to completing extensive clinical assignments,
including working under the supervision of a certified athletic
trainer with a lower extremity sport, an upper extremity sport, an
equipment intensive sport such as football, and a general medical
clinical education rotation. Upperclassmen can anticipate working
12–20 hours per week. Students majoring in athletic training are
not encouraged to participate in intercollegiate athletics.
Course requirements involve 72.5 semester hours including:
