Become an Athletic Trainer

In the Athletic Training program, students learn to manage overall health care of scholastic, professional and recreational athletes. At 体育菠菜大平台, you'll learn in fully equipped facilities from faculty with real experience in the athletic training field. Students have opportunities to gain practical experience through avenues like research activity and clinical experiences.

The Master of Athletic Training program at the University of Nebraska at Kearney offers two separate avenues for entry through one graduate professional program. Students will have the opportunity to either complete a 3-year undergraduate plus a 2-year professional (3+2) program pathway or complete a traditional post-baccalaureate 2-year professional program pathway.

Students applying for the traditional two-year post baccalaureate pathway will be required to obtain pre-requisites for application to the program. Upon acceptance into the traditional two-year model, students will be afforded the opportunity to complete the professional program over the following two calendar years.
