Athletic Training, Master of

Saint Louis University's athletic training program offers an early-assurance 3+2 graduate professional program. Students earn a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Exercise Science after the completion of four years and then a Master of Athletic Training (M.A.T.) after successful completion of an additional post-baccalaureate year. Students may also enter the program as undergraduate transfer students or post-baccalaureate. The athletic training program has an interprofessional focus with a curriculum that develops a team approach to health care. 

SLU's athletic training program is the standard of excellence within the field, boasting an outstanding pass rate on the Board of Certification (BOC) exam and excellent job placement rates. SLU students and faculty are engaged regularly in the professions, receiving honors at the national and international levels.

SLU's program has a proven track record of global engagement: the athletic program has a curricular track in which students can attend SLU's campus in Madrid, Spain, for up to four semesters; an international clinical exchange program with universities in Spain and Ireland; and the program is an institutional member of the World Federation of Athletic Training and Therapy (WFATT).

Upon graduation, students are eligible to take the BOC Examination for the Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) credential.

Curriculum Overview

Students that begin the program as freshmen spend their first three years completing the required liberal arts and science prerequisite courses. Students who meet academic and professional behavior requirements continue into the two-year professional phase of the program after their junior year.

The two-year professional phase of the program includes coursework in injury and illness prevention, wellness promotion and education, emergent care, examination and clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions. Students participate in clinical experiences each semester in a variety of practice settings.

Clinical and Research Opportunities

SLU's athletic training students participate in clinical experiences each semester, and the diversity of clinical sites is a hallmark of the program. In addition to Saint Louis University’s athletic teams, eight other St. Louis-area universities and over 20 high schools serve as clinical sites for the program. Students experience unique networking opportunities such as physician office rotations, NCAA championship events and summer camps.

SLU's program provides opportunities to connect with the AT profession. Students have a chance to be involved in the Annual Athletic Training Speaker Series and National Athletic Training Month each spring. Faculty members serve in prominent roles in state, regional and national organizations in athletic training. Additionally, the program houses the editorial offices of the Journal of Athletic Training and the Athletic Training Education Journal.
