Athletic Training (B.S.P.E.)

The Athletic Training major has two portions to the education program, didactic and clinical. Prior to application to the clinical portion of the program, a pre-professional phase is required which includes a grade of 'C' or better in prerequisite courses (Biol 120, Biol 121, H&S 245, H&S 288 and PEP 101) and successful completion of an observation period in the athletic training room (PEP 171). See the Athletic Training Education Program Director for the specific information regarding admission into the clinical portion of the program. This information includes admission requirements, pre-professional phase course work and observation period requirements, technical standards for admission, and an application form.

Additionally, to maintain good standing in the clinical portion of the program, the student must meet specific criteria, which includes maintaining a 2.75 cumulative GPA and a grade of 'C' or better in all professional courses. See the Athletic Training Education Program Director for specific information regarding continuation in the clinical portion of the program.
