Admission
Requirements
Admission in to the Athletic
Training program at the freshman level will require
a minimum high school QPA of 2.75 (including 4 units in English; 1 unit in social studies or language; 7 units in mathematics and science; and four elective units), a composite
SAT score of at least 1,100 or a composite ACT
of at least 24, evidence of extracurricular activities
during high school and have the ability to meet all of the medical and performance/technical standards of the program. Most accepted students have a high school QPA of at least 3.0/B Average. It is required that students
acquire a minimum of 100 hours of clinical experience
and observation in athletic training prior to
admittance into the professional phase of the
program. This requirement will be fulfilled as part of required coursework during
the sophomore year. Students who meet all academic
and program requirements during the pre-professional
phase will be guaranteed admission into the professional
phase.
Students may transfer into the
program before the start of the sophomore year,
based upon their credentials, courses completed
at other institution(s), outcomes in courses yet
to be completed prior to entry into the professional
phase, and space availability. Admission at the
transfer or second degree level will require a
minimum college cumulative Q.P.A. of at least a 2.75 and passing grades in the basic sciences. Observation of a Athletic Trainer prior to admission is strongly encouraged.
To assure the health and safety
of the Athletic Training students and the patients
with whom they work, all students (freshman,
transfer, and continuing) are required to meet the Technical
Standards/Performance Indicators to ensure
that they have sufficient abilities to meet the
rigorous work expectations of a student studying
Athletic Training. To further protect the health
and well-being, all students are required to have
a complete physical exam and demonstrate appropriate immunizations before beginning the
first professional Athletic Training course during
the sophomore year (ATHT 201). The requirements
for this physical exam are explained during pre-professional
student body meetings and are available to students
in the RSHS Academic Student Handbook which all
students receive, as well as on this RSHS web site. |
