Athletic Training B.A.Sc.D Applied Human Sciences
College of Education and Human Service Professions
Athletic training includes the evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention of injuries occurring to the physically active. The B.A.Sc. athletic training program prepares undergraduate students academically and clinically for the athletic training profession. Students complete program and degree requirements while gaining clinical experience under the direction and supervision of a certified athletic trainer or other allied health professional at a UMD affiliated clinical site.
Students in the athletic training program are expected to abide by the NATA Code of Ethics.
A detailed athletic training education program policies and procedures manual, including learning goals and objectives and technical standards for the program is available on the ATEP website.
Transfer course equivalencies for required ESAT courses are determined by the program director. Transfer students should plan for a minimum of six semesters in the program, regardless of the number of credits completed at the transfer institution.
This is a competitive entry program. A maximum of 16 students are admitted to the program each year.
