  • Required credits within the major: 104
  • Degree: Bachelor of Applied Science
New Students are not being accepted into this program. Please visit with a member of the CEHSP student advising office for additional information. 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.
Program Delivery
This program is available:
  • via classroom (the majority of instruction is face-to-face)
Admission Requirements
Students must complete 8 courses before admission to the program.
Freshman and transfer students are usually admitted to pre-major status before admission to this major.
A GPA above 2.0 is preferred for the following:

Program Requirements
Requirements for the B.A.Sc. in athletic training: * Students are required to review their degree status in the CEHSP Advising & Academic Services Office early in their senior year. * Degree candidates must complete at least 20 of the last 30 degree credits immediately before graduation at UMD. * Athletic training majors must complete both the didactic and clinical components to meet the minimum requirements to qualify for the Board of Certification (BOC) exam.
