Sports Medicine*
*This Sports Medicine emphasis serves as the accelerated major for students who plan to continue with the Master’s of Athletic Training. Students interested in the accelerated program must apply so that the coursework counts for both the bachelors and masters degrees. Accelerated admission to the professional phase of the Master of Athletic Training program is selective and occurs in December each year. To be considered for admission to the accelerated program, students will need to have at least junior standing and submit their ATCAS application by November 1st. Once accepted to the accelerated program, undergraduate students will also need to submit an Approval of Admission to an Accelerated Track (GR-A) Form. For more information, please contact the Master of Athletic Training Program Chair
