Application Documents

Due to the individual attention needed by each student during clinical lab experiences, a limited number of students are accepted into the major each year. The following documents describe guidelines for applying to the program.

Students should maintain an overall GPA of 2.5 or better with at least a "C-" in the required courses for the athletic training major. Core courses must be taken in an established sequence. Failing to earn a "C-" or better in any course may require an extra year to graduate or elimination from the major.
