Athletic Training Program Description |
The Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) mandates all athletic training education preparation programs transition to a master’s degree by 2022. In response to this national accreditation mandate, FSU is proposing the MSAT Program as a two-year, rigorous post baccalaureate entry graduate program in Athletic Training to expand the skills and knowledge of future professionals. The proposed MSAT Program will be administered in the department of Kinesiology and Recreation, within the College of Education. <br> <br>The 65 credit hour program seeks to enroll 2 part time, (in-state) students in its initial year. Due to the transition of the program to meet accreditation mandates, the program anticipates enrollment of 2 part-time (out-of-state) in year one; 41 part-time (in-state), and 4 (out-of-state) students by year five. <br> |
