Graduate Program in Athletic Training


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Graduate Degrees and Programs

The MSAT program prepares students to successfully challenge the Board of Certification (BOC) examination.  Athletic trainers are highly qualified, multi-skilled health care professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide an array of care including preventative services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions.  Athletic trainers work under the direction of a physician as prescribed by state licensure statutes.  Athletic trainers are employed in a wide variety of settings and work with many different types of patients, not just competitive athletes.  This program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE).

Students will be admitted in cohorts for this rigorous two-year, full-time, year-round professional health care program and courses must be taken in the specified sequence. The MSAT program at UNCP has two distinctly unique features.  First, since UNCP is one of the most diverse campuses in the southeast, students are exposed to a multi-ethnic patient base.  Program faculty are committed to recruiting and mentoring minority students.  Second, UNCP is located in rural southeastern North Carolina so students will have the opportunity to serve as the primary care provider for many of the patients since this area is vastly underserved with respect to health care providers.
