Athletic Training Scholars Pathway Track
The Athletic Training Scholars pathway (3+2 MSAT track) is an accelerated program that allows students to obtain a Bachelor of Arts in Health and Human Performance and a Master of Science in Athletic Training in five years. The Athletic Training Scholars Pathway is divided into two components: the pre-professional phase which includes the completion of years 1-3 and the professional phase which includes academic years 4-5. During the professional phase students will compete all of the requirements for the Master of Science in Athletic Training.
Students within the Pre-Allied Health concentration desiring to apply to the Athletic Training Scholars Pathway can apply to the program upon successful completion of year 3 and upon meeting all requirements for entry into the program. Students entering the Athletic Training Scholars Pathway will earn their Bachelor of Arts in Health and Human Performance upon successful completion of their 4th year and will earn a Master of Science in Athletic Training degree upon successful completion of year 5.
The following 5000-level courses have been strategically added to the undergraduate degree course plan and must be taken during the final year for the Bachelor’s degree to be granted. These courses represent the courses taken in the 1st year of the Master of Science in Athletic Training and can be used as upper-division electives within the Health and Human Performance major.
Required Courses to Complete the Pre-professional Phase of the Athletic Training Scholars Pathway
| Code | Title | Units |
|---|---|---|
| ANA 5002 | Gross Anatomy of the Musculoskeletal System | 3 |
| ATR 5000 | Seminar in Athletic Training | 1 |
| ATR 5005 | Research Methods and Statistical Techniques for Clinical Decision Making in Sports Medicine | 3 |
| ATR 5087 | Evidence-Based Orthopedic Assessment of the Lower Extremity | 3 |
| ATR 5087L | Evidence-Based Orthopedic Assessment of the Lower Extremity Lab | 1 |
| ATR 5088 | Evidence-Based Orthopedic Assessment of the Spine and Upper Extremities | 3 |
| ATR 5088L | Evidence-Based Orthopedic Assessment of the Spine and Upper Extremities Lab | 1 |
| ATR 5090 | Clinical Internship I | 3 |
| ATR 5091 | Clinical Internship II | 3 |
| KIN 5010 | Evidence-Based Practice and Decision Making in Kinesiology | 3 |
| Total Units | 24 | |
Once the student has met all of the requirements of the undergraduate degree and is enrolled in their final semester, the student would then apply to the Master of Science in Athletic Training and complete the remaining courses required to complete the program.
