What can I do with a degree in Athletic Training?
Certified athletic trainers are medical experts in preventing, recognizing, managing and rehabilitating injuries that result from physical activity. Weber State University’s Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP) prepares students to certify as athletic trainers and to work in a variety of settings (e.g. high schools, colleges/universities, physical therapy clinics, physician's offices, corporate settings, professional sports, etc.).
What will I learn in the program?
You will take athletic training classes covering orthopedic assessment, psychology of injury, therapeutic modalities, therapeutic rehabilitation, general medical conditions, emergency care, and athletic training management. Students are instructed in our state-of-the-art, fully equipped athletic training lab and participate in clinical rotations in a wide variety of settings on and off campus. Students gain hands-on experience (clinical hours) each semester, which allows them to practice learned skills on patients under the supervision of an approved clinical instructor (ACI) or clinical instructor (CI). For information on current clinical settings, see http://www.weber.edu/athletictraining/clinicalroations.html
Degrees available
What is the application process?
To enter the Athletic Training Education Program, you must register for Athletic Training 1500 in the fall and apply for admission by the third Wednesday in November. There is a process for transfer students, which allows them to accelerate through the program. Selection into the program is highly competitive, with only 20 students admitted each year.
