Department of Health Promotion
and Human Performance (HPHP) offers an undergraduate program in Athletic
Training. The Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP) at Weber State
University is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training
Education (CAATE), and has been since 2003, which enables students to obtain eligibility for
the Board of Certification (BOC) examination. The ATEP is specifically designed
to prepare students for careers in allied health care. The program will provide
students with skills in the prevention, evaluation, treatment, and
rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries. Athletic trainers are employed in
corporations, public schools, physical therapy clinics, universities,
professional organizations, the military, factories, and hospitals.
