Athletic Training Education Programs

The Weber State University Department of Health Promotion and Human Performance offers both undergraduate and graduate programs in Athletic Training.  Both are considered entry-level programs and serve as educational routes to eligibility for certification.    Students who do not currently possess a bachelor's degree have two options within the undergraduate programs.  The first is the Clinical Track which, upon completion, will make the student eligible to sit for the Board of Certification (BOC) examination to become a Certified Athletic Trainer.  The second option is the Scientific Track which prepares students for entry into professional graduate programs such as physical therapy or medical school, but does not result in eligibility to sit for the BOC examination.  More information on these tracks is available under the "Undergraduate Programs" link to the left.   Students who currently possess a bachelor's degree in an area other than Athletic Training are eligible to apply for admission to the Master of Science in Athletic Training Program.  This is a 2-year program, including one summer.  This program will seek accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE).  Once the program is accredited, graduates will be eligible for the Board of Certification (BOC) examination and an athletic training license in Utah.  This program is not appropriate for students who already have undergraduate degrees in Athletic Training and/or those who are already Certified Athletic Trainers.  More information on the MS in AT is available under the "Graduate Program" link to the left.
