The mission of the Athletic Training Program is to provide students, within a liberal-arts framework, with the strong scientific foundation and extensive practical experience they need to become certified Athletic Trainers (ATC).

The Program mission is accomplished by teaching and providing students with the opportunity to develop competencies in the five domains of athletic training defined by the Board of Certification (BOC) Practice Analysis. The students master these competencies through didactic, laboratory, and clinical experiences while utilizing evidence-based practices.
