2018-19 Undergraduate Academic Catalog

Program Requirements Admission and Retention Athletic training clinical education is a labor-intensive product to deliver. Because there is a finite number of quality sports medicine opportunities available on campus, the ATEP limits each academic class to no more than 12 students each (i.e., 12 seniors, 12 juniors, and 12 sophomores). There is currently no limit to how many freshmen may declare athletic training as their major, but if more than 12 students desire to continue as athletic training majors beyond the freshman year, the competitive admission process is enforced. Transfer students are considered on an individual basis but are only eligible to be admitted directly into the ATEP if: 1) there is space available in their graduating class and 2) they have met all the admission criteria. Anyone thinking about transferring to Cedarville for the purpose of being an athletic training major should contact the program director as early in the process as possible. Admission criteria include: 1. Cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher 2. Completion of college-level biology courses with a grade of “C-” or higher 3. Completion of college-level first aid and basic athletic training courses with a grade of “B-” or higher 4. Completion of at least 150 clinical hours in the Cedarville University Athletic Training Facility 5. Satisfactory physical exam 6. Hepatitis B vaccine or signed declination 7. Signed acceptance of technical standards, available at cedarville.edu/athletictraining 8. Current certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) including AED Retention criteria include: 1. Earning a grade of “C-” or higher in all athletic training courses 2. Maintaining a cumulative GPA of 2.50 or higher 3. Maintaining current CPR/AED certification 4. Successfully completing clinical proficiencies established for each term 5. Positive recommendation by the faculty/clinical instructors of the ATEP Graduation requirements include: 1. Earning a grade of “C-” or higher in all athletic training courses 2. Member of the NATA 3. Successful completion of all clinical proficiencies 4. Meeting University requirements for graduation Students are encouraged to combine the athletic training major with another program of study depending upon their career objectives. Possible options include a business minor for those planning to be employed in the sports medicine clinic setting, or a teaching certificate for those planning to be employed in the high school setting, and exercise science or biology electives for those pursuing graduate education or employment in higher education. Students need to be aware that preparing to be a marketable athletic trainer may require more than the traditional four years of college. 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.
