Students are required to accumulate athletic training observations and clinical experiences as part of the laboratory courses associated with the introductory Athletic Training courses (ATHTR 201/L and 202/L). Athletic training
students will accumulate 50 hours in the Fall course,
and another 50 hours in the Spring course.
During the professional phase curriculum (junior
and senior years), athletic training students
have opportunities to acquire approximately 1100 clinical
hours under the direct supervision of a Certified Athletic
Trainer. The Department of Athletic Training
supports student-athletes who are enrolled in
the Athletic Training curriculum and therefore,
permit student-athletes to participate in one
sport season per academic year. This opportunity, however, will require
student-athletes to participate in clinical experiences
during the Summer between the junior and
senior years. |
