2003-2004 Academic Catalog

98 Exercise and Sport Science School of Health and Human Performance 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 varsity practice and game times in order to fulfill the clinical education component of the ATEP. Freshmen will need to accumulate at least 150 hours in order to be eligible for admission into the ATEP. Sophomores will be scheduled to work (approximately 8-10 hours per week) with every team each semester on a rotation basis to expose them to all aspects of collegiate athletic training services. The junior and senior years are devoted to completing extensive clinical assignments including assisting an ATC with a lower extremity sport, an upper extremity sport, an equipment intensive sport (football) and managing an athletic training facility. Upperclassmen can anticipate working between 12-18 hours per week. Therefore, students majoring in athletic training are not encouraged to participate in intercollegiate athletics.
